Chapter 2: Installation
Before installing the EMC-FDM, unpack and inspect it for shipping damage.
•
Do not remove the module from its anti-static bag unless you are in a static-free
environment. The EMC-FDM, like most other electronic devices, is susceptible to
ESD damage. ESD damage is not always immediately obvious, in that it can cause a
partial breakdown in semiconductor devices that might not immediately result in a
failure.
•
Ensure that the installation process as described herein is also performed in a static-
free environment.
Insertion in an EMC Chassis
Insertion of the EMC-FDM into an EMC chassis is straightforward. Locate the double-wide
open card guides at the far right of the carrier (opposite the power supply) and insert the EMC-
FDM into the backplane connector. Firmly press the EMC-FDM front panel to ensure that the
module is properly seated in the backplane, then secure it with the supplied screws and nylon
washers.
•
Make sure that power to your system is off. The EMC-FDM is not designed to be
inserted or removed from a live system.
•
When inserting the EMC-FDM, avoid touching the circuit board, and make sure the
environment is static-free.
•
Insert it with adequate continuous force rather than tapping or hammering on it.
