5.3 General Board Handling
The 922-MES PCBA does not require forced air convective cooling. Generally heat from the card is conducted
through the mounting hardware, such as metal standoffs, or via the front panel to rack connections. If the card
is intended to be used for extended periods 40
C ambient, other heat dissipation or heatsink options
should be considered to extended product life. Contact the factory for more information.
Care must always be taken during the handling of PCBAs to ensure product integrity. The following guidelines
should be adhered to in working with PCBAs:
Always handle boards by the edges and do not touch any connector pins or other exposed interface
contacts.
Handle boards at an ESD safe workstation with a clean surface. Maintain ESD precautions during
installation.
Store each card in a separate, ESD protective package.
Do not flex boards during handling or when mounted. The mounting surface needs to be flat and even
such that the board is not flexed when bolted down.
Do not cause unnecessary shock and vibration, such as dropping or rough handling of the boards.
