High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational pur-
poses unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing mezza-
nines, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled person-
nel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power
supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing
the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove
power to components.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections
of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.
