4 Hardware Installation
The AM4904 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installa-
tion procedures and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude
damage to the product, other system components, or injury to personnel.
4.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AM4904. Kontron
assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.
WARNING
MCH modules require, by design, a considerable amount of force in
order to (dis)engage the module from/in the MicroTCA™ backplane con-
nector. For this reason, when inserting or extracting the module, apply
only as much force as required to preclude damage to either the mod-
ule’s handle or the front panel.
DO NOT
push on the module handle to seat the module in the backplane
connector. Do not use the module handle as a grip to handle the board
outside of the chassis slot.
Use of excessive force, bending or rotation of the module handle will
result in damage to the handle or the module’s locking mechanism.
Kontron disclaims all liability for damage to the module or the system
as a result of failure to comply with this warning.

This AMC board contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe the neces-
sary precautions to avoid damage to your board:
• Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be dis-
charged before use.
• Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
• If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging equip-
ment, please do not omit to use it.
WARNING
This product has gold conductive fingers which are susceptible to con-
tamination. Take care not to touch the gold conductive fingers of the
