3 Handling and Operating Instructions
ESD Protection
The TPCE260 is sensitive to static electricity. Packing, unpacking
and all other handling of the TPCE260 has to be done in an ESD/EOS
protected Area.
PCI Bus Signaling Voltage and Keying
Be sure that the TPCE260 PCI bus signal voltage configuration
matches the TPCE260 PMC slots keying pin configuration.
If PMC modules are plugged into a PCI environment where the PCI
signaling voltage does not match, damage to the equipment could
occur, voiding product warranties.
Refer to the chapter “PCI Signaling Voltage” for details.
Power Limits for PMC Modules
The PCIe specification limits the power for PCIe add-in cards. These
limitations have implications for the use of PMC modules.
Refer to the chapter “Power Limits for PMC Modules” for details.
Installation of PMC Modules
Before mounting PMC Modules on the TPCE260, be sure that the
system is powered off.
Also, follow the installation instructions in the “PMC Interface”
chapter.
Installation of TPCE260-2xR
For the TPCE260-2xR variants, it is imperative to always connect a
PCI Express VGA power connector to the TPCE260, even if no PMC
is mounted.
