Service Manual
Handling the EPC-3221 and C1XTN02
Overview
This section suggests basic precautions when handling the EPC-3221 System Controller
Board and optional C1XTN02 Rear Transition I/O Module.
Static Electricity
The EPC-3221 and C1XTN02 design protects against normal ESD (electro-static discharge)
and excessive voltage. However, excessive static electricity can damage the components.
Before you handle the components, use the grounding wrist strap provided with the system to
discharge static electricity. Instructions for using the wrist strap are printed on the strap’s
envelope.
Safety
It is important to protect yourself and your equipment before you perform any of the
procedures outlined in this manual.
You should check the configuration before you install the SCB and XIO. If the components are
already installed in your system and you need to change configuration, power-off the system
and disconnect all power cords from their source. Follow all safety precautions as outlined by
the chassis manufacturer.
Next...
Before you install the SCB in a chassis, check the switch settings outlined in Step 1,
page 12
.
Handle the components by their I/O panel or injector/ejector handles to help prevent accidental
damage caused by static discharge (
Figure 4
).
To avoid damage or injury, always power-off the system and disconnect all power cords from
their source before handling the equipment. To help prevent accidental damage caused by
static discharge, use a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device when handling
the equipment.
Um Sachschaden und Verletzung zu vermeiden, schalten Sie vor Arbeiten am Gerät den
Netzschalter aus, und ziehen Sie alle Stecker aus den Steckdosen. Um unbeabsichtigte
Schäden durch elektrostatische Entladung vorzubeugen, sollte bei Arbeiten am System immer
ein Erdungsarmband getragen oder andere elektrostatische Entladungs-Vorsichtsmaßnahmen
verwendet werden.
Only qualified, experienced electronics service personnel should access and handle the
equipment.
Es sollte nur qualifiziertes und erfahrenes Fachpersonal am System arbeiten.
