Unpacking and Installation
This chapter describes the handling, installation, front panel and baseboard‐to‐
backplane connectors of the RM921N board.
2.1 Unpacking Procedures
On receipt of the shipping container, check for any evidence of physical damage. All
claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete
report sent to Abaco Technical Support, see
Technical Support Contact Information
Electronic assemblies use devices that are sensitive to static discharge. Observe
antistatic procedures when handling these boards. All products should be in an
antistatic plastic bag or conductive foam for storage or shipment. Work at an
approved antistatic workstation when unpacking boards.
2.2 Identifying Your Board
The board is identified by labels at strategic positions. These can be cross-checked
against the Advice Note provided with your delivery.
Identification labels attached to the shipping box and the antistatic bag give identical
information: product code, product description and equipment number. On the
board within the antistatic bag, there is an identifying label attached to the PCB.
2.3 Equipment Grounding
To minimize electric shock hazard, connect the equipment chassis and
rack/enclosure to an electrical ground. If AC power is supplied to the rack/enclosure,
the power jack and mating plug of the power cable must meet International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
2.4 Installation
1.
Locate the slot in the chassis into which the switch will be installed.
2.
Switch off power to the chassis.
3.
Observing proper anti‐static procedures, insert the RM921N into the chassis.
4.
Use the ejector handles to ensure the card is fully seated into the backplane.
5.
The chassis may now be powered up
NOTE
To utilize the VME system reset, the JP1 jumper must be installed on the board.
