2. Installation
The AT8901 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precau-
tions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper in-
stallation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to
personnel.
2.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AT8901.
Kontron assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these
requirements.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that the
heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or
removing the board.
In addition, the board should not be placed on any surface or in any form of stor-
age container until such time as the board and heat sink have cooled down to
room temperature.
Note ...
Certain ATCA boards require bus master and/or rear I/O capability. If you are
in doubt whether such features are required for the board you intend to install,
please check your specific board and/or system documentation to make sure
that your system is provided with an appropriate free slot in which to insert the
board.
ESD Equipment!
This ATCA board contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe
the necessary precautions to avoid damage to your board:
• Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be dis-
charged before use.
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton,
do not remove the component's antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded.
This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your
body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle components and boards with care. Don't touch the components
or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting
bracket.
• Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electro-
magnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
