CHAPTER 3
Installation
Chapter Scope
This chapter covers the installation of the CM6 CompactPCI Single Board
Computer in a CompactPCI backplane and initial power-on operations.
General advice
Please observe all safety procedures to avoid damaging system and protect
operators and users.
Unpacking and Handling
Please read the manual carefully before unpacking the module or fitting the
device into your system. Also adhere to the following:
•
Observe all precautions for electrostatic sensitive modules
•
If the product contains batteries, please do not place the board on
conductive surfaces, anti-static plastic, or sponge, which can cause shots
and lead to battery or board trace damage.
•
Please do not exceed the specified operational temperatures. Note that
batteries and storage devices might also have temperature restrictions.
•
Keep all original packaging material for future storage or warranty
shipments of the board.
ESD
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a major cause of electronic component failure.
The CM6 has been packed in a static-safe bag which protects the board from
ESD while the board is in the bag. From the time the board is removed from the
anti static bag until it is properly mounted in a backplane, extreme care should
be taken to avoid damaging board through electrostatic discharges. See page 25
for details on how to prevent 'zapping' the board with ESD.
