Hardware Installation
5. Hardware Installation
To put the ECS-PMC/FPGA into operation, please follow the installation notes.
Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document carefully, before
you start with the hardware installation!
Danger!
Hazardous Voltage - Risk of electric shock due to unintentional contact with
uninsulated live parts with high voltages inside of the system into which the ECS-
PMC/FPGA is to be integrated. Disconnect all hazardous voltages (mains voltage)
before opening the system.
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components. To avoid this,
please perform the following steps
before
you touch the module, in order to discharge
the static electricity from your body:
→
→
→
Switch off the power of your system, but leave it connected to the mains until you
have discharged yourself.
Please touch the metal case of the system now to discharge yourself.
Furthermore, you should prevent your clothes from touching the system, because
your clothes might be electrostatically charged as well.
Procedure:
1. Switch off your system and all connected peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.).
2. Discharge your body as described above.
3. Disconnect the system from the mains.
If the system does not have a flexible mains cable, but is directly connected to mains,
disconnect the power supply via the safety fuse and make sure that the fuse cannot switch on
again unintentionally (e.g. with caution label).
Danger!
Hazardous Voltage - Risk of electric shock due to unintentional contact with
uninsulated live parts with high voltages inside of the system into which the ECS-
PMC/FPGA is to be integrated. Disconnect all hazardous voltages (mains
voltage) before opening the system.
4. Open the case if necessary.
5. For sufficient EMC shielding the ECS-PMC/FPGA should make contact to the system's
enclosure nearly completely around its front panel. For this purpose a conductive O-ring is
contained in the product package of the ECS-PMC/FPGA module. Mount the conductive O-
ring on the front panel of the ECS-PMC/FPGA. Additionally or instead of it use shielding
material as for example conductive shielding gasket.
6. Remove the carrier board (if already installed) and plug the ECS-PMC/FPGA carefully on the
carrier board. Pay attention that the PMC module is correctly installed on the carrier board.
Fix the ECS-PMC/FPGA with the screws on the carrier board. Use the M 2.5 x 6 mm
screws which are contained in the product package of the module.
