Installation
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and uninstal-
lation can damage circuits or shorten their life. Therefore:
• Before installing or uninstalling the board, check the “Require-
ments” section on page 2-3.
• Before touching integrated circuits, make sure that you are work-
ing in an ESD-safe environment.
• When plugging the board in or removing it, do not press on the
front panel but use the handles.
• Before installing or uninstalling an additional device or module,
read the respective documentation.
• Make sure that the board is connected to the CompactPCI back-
plane via all assembled connectors and that power is available on
all power pins.
• Never operate the PENT/CPCI-721 without I/O board.
Operation
While operating the board ensure that the environmental and power
requirements are met.
When operating the board in areas of strong electromagnetic radia-
tion ensure that the board is bolted on the CompactPCI rack and
shielded by enclosure.
Make sure that contacts and cables of the board cannot be touched
while the board is operating.
Expansion
Check the total power consumption of all components installed (see
the technical specification of the respective components).
Ensure that any individual output current of any source stays within
its acceptable limits (see the technical specification of the respective
source).
Only replace components or system parts with those recommended
by Force Computers. Otherwise, you are fully responsible for the
impact on EMI and the possibly changed functionality of the product.
