Safety Precautions
Precautions and Instructions
•
Prior to powering on the controller, ensure that the correct power range is being
used.
•
Ensure there is a sufficient cooling airflow to maintain the temperature of the
controller board. If the controller board overheats it may be permanently damaged.
•
Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the controller will be installed provides
sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the controller.
•
Handle controller carefully and gently. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector
pins.
•
To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or
replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all covers
are securely in place.
•
Provide a soft, clean surface to place your controller on before working on it.
Servicing on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.
ESD Precautions
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of
a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended. Avoid dust or
debris in your work area.
