1.1
Warnings and Cautions
Caution:
Ensure a safe and static-free work environment before removing any components
from their anti-static packaging. The CRB is susceptible to electrostatic discharge,
which may cause failure or unpredictable operation.
Caution:
Connecting the wrong cable or reversing a cable may damage the board and may
damage the device being connected. Since the board is not in a protective chassis, use
caution when connecting cables to the board.
Caution:
The power supply cord is the main disconnect device to the main power (AC power).
The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be readily
accessible. To avoid shock, ensure that the power cord is connected to a properly
wired and grounded receptacle. Do not connect/disconnect any cables or perform
installation/maintenance of the boards during an electrical storm. Ensure that any
equipment to which this CRB will be attached is also connected to properly wired and
grounded receptacles.
Ensure that setting up the power supply is the final step performed in the process of
assembly.
Once the board is set up, plug the power cable into the back of the power supply,
leaving the switch in the OFF position, then plug the cord into the power source and
switch on the power supply.
Caution:
Items marked as "Reserved" in this users guide and in the CRB schematics are not
supported. Changing settings related to these items could lead to unknown behavior
on the CRB.
