3 Handling and Installation
3.1
Handling Precautions
Electronic assemblies use devices that are sensitive to static discharge. Observe anti-static procedures when
handling these boards. All products should be in an anti-static plastic bag or conductive foam for storage or
shipment. Work at an approved anti-static workstation when unpacking boards.
3.2 Unpacking and Verification
RAMiX products are shipped in individual, reusable shipping boxes. When receiving the shipping container,
inspect it for any evidence of physical damage. If the container is damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be
present during the unpacking of individual boxes and the inspection of each unit.
Remove the RM94X card from the shipping box and anti-static packaging. Verify that it is not damaged and that
all items are present by referring to the packing list.
3.3 Installation
Installation is done generically as with the commercial versions of the card. Follow any specific procedures
recommended by the manufacturer of the chassis used.
3.4 Cable Adapter Pin Outs
Both the CP945FP-12 and RM945FP-12 are designed for use with a female RJ45 to male DB25 cable adapter.
