3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the PPC-Cxxx-
ADL may result in permanent damage to the PPC-Cxxx-ADL and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the power module. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore
critical that whenever the PPC-Cxxx-ADL is opened and any electrical component handled,
the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
◼
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
◼
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
◼
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PPC-Cxxx-ADL, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PPC-
Cxxx-ADL.
3.2 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
◼
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description
of the PPC-Cxxx-ADL, installation instructions and configuration options.
◼
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the PPC-Cxxx-ADL must be
disconnected during the installation process. Failing to disconnect the power
may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
◼
Qualified Personnel: The PPC-Cxxx-ADL must be installed and operated
only by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs
may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the
