1.1 Safety Notices
The
following
general
safety
precautions
represent
warnings
of
certain
dangers
of
which
GE
Intelligent
Platforms
is
aware.
Failure
to
comply
with
these
or
with
specific
Warnings
and/or
Cautions
elsewhere
in
this
manual
violates
safety
standards
of
design,
manufacture
and
intended
use
of
the
equipment.
GEIP
assumes
no
liability
for
the
user’s
failure
to
comply
with
these
requirements.
Also
follow
all
warning
instructions
contained
in
associated
system
equipment
manuals.
WARNINGS
Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting this equipment. This device may operate in
an environment containing potentially dangerous voltages.
Ensure that all power to the system is removed before installing any device.
To minimize shock hazard, connect the equipment chassis and rack/enclosure to an electrical ground.
If AC power is supplied to the rack/enclosure, the power jack and mating plug of the power cable must
meet IEC safety standards.
1.1.1
Flammability
The
circuit
board
is
made
by
a
UL
‐
recognized
manufacturer
and
has
a
flammability
rating
of
UL94V
‐
1.
1.1.2
Backplane Requirements
CAUTION
Only use the GBX24 in backplanes that supply power on both the J1 and J2 connectors. Use of
backplanes that supply power on the J1 connector only may cause excessive current to be drawn
through the power pins
1.1.3
EMI/EMC Regulatory Compliance
CAUTION
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate electromagnetic energy. It may cause or be
susceptible to EMI if not installed and used in a cabinet with adequate EMI protection.
The
GBX24
is
designed
using
good
EMC
practices
and,
when
used
in
a
suitably
EMC
‐
compliant
chassis,
should
maintain
the
compliance
of
the
total
system.
The
GBX24
also
complies
with
EN60950
(product
safety),
which
is
essentially
the
requirement
for
the
Low
Voltage
Directive
(73/23/EEC).
Air
‐
cooled
build
levels
of
the
GBX24
are
designed
for
use
in
systems
meeting
VDE
class
B,
EN
and
FCC
regulations
for
EMC
emissions
and
susceptibility.
Conduction
‐
cooled
build
levels
of
the
GBX24
are
designed
for
integration
into
EMC
hardened
cabinets/boxes.
