Hardware Preparation and Installation
1
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores)
that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis
may not be grounded if it is unplugged.

Warning
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this
equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
Hardware Preparation
The CPIP5430 is designed to PICMG (2.1, 2.9, 2.16) specifications and as
such, is a general-purpose, universal slot card. Before using this card, you
should review the specifications of any chassis and backplane intended to
house the CPIP5430 to determine the presence of, and any limitations of,
the IPMI bus, switched Ethernet, and user defined pinouts. As an example,
some chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such
as alarm cards, drive resources, or route PCI signals to failover circuitry or
extension bridges.
The CPIP5430 is intended for chassis/backplanes where J5 connectors are
all pass-through connections to a rear transition module and J3 connections
are to a switched Ethernet fabric and pass-through connections to a rear
transition module. Also, J3 and J5 provide power from the CPIP5430 to the
rear transition module. It is your responsibility to verify this system
compatibility. Failure to do so could result in improper operation or
equipment damage.
Note
The CPIP5430 is intended for use within the Motorola Computer
Group MXP Series Platforms.
