Installation
The CP6924 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installation procedures,
and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation 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 CP6924. Kontron assumes no responsi-
bility 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.
WARNING
Be careful when inserting or removing the CP6924. The SFP cages have sharp edges
which might lead to injuries.
ESD Sensitive Device
The CP6924 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 discharged 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, electromagnetic, mag-
netic, or radioactive fields.
