Installation
This chapter is oriented towards an application environment. Some aspects may, however, be applicable to a
development environment.
6.1.
Safety
To ensure personnel safety and correct operation of this product, the following safety precautions must be observed:
All operations involving the CP6006(X)-SA require that personnel be familiar with system equipment, safety
requirements and the CP6006(X)-SA.
This product contains electrostatically sensitive components which can be seriously damaged by electrical
static discharge (ESD). Therefore, proper handling must be ensured at all times.
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.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it
is otherwise protected.
Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
Kontron assumes no liability for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.
6.2.
General Instructions on Usage
In order to maintain Kontron’s product warranty, this product must not be altered or modified in any way. Changes or
modifications to the device, which are not explicitly approved by Kontron and described in this manual or received
from Kontron’s Technical Support as a special handling instruction, will void your warranty.
This device should only be installed in or connected to systems that fulfill all necessary technical and specific
environmental requirements. This applies also to the operational temperature range of the specific board version,
which must not be exceeded. If batteries are present, their temperature restrictions must be taken into account.
6.3.
Board Installation
The CP6006(X)-SA is designed for use either as a system board or as an autonomous CPU board in a peripheral slot.
When installed in the system slot, the CP6006(X)-SA provides all required functions for supporting the hot swapping
of peripheral boards which are capable of being hot swapped.
When installed in a peripheral slot, the CP6006(X)-SA operates autonomously, meaning that it only draws power
from the backplane.
6.3.1.
Hot Swap Insertion
Prior to following the steps below, ensure that the safety requirements are met.
To insert the CP6006(X)-SA in a running system proceed as follows:
1.
Ensure that the board ejection handles are open.
2.
Insert the board into the slot designated until it makes contact with the backplane connectors.
3.
Using the ejector handles, engage the board with the backplane. When the ejector handles are closed, the board
is engaged.
4.
The blue HS LED turns on and then off indicating that the CP6006(X)-SA is operating.
5.
Fasten the front panel retaining screws.
6.
Connect all external interfacing cables to the board as required.
