For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its
compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life
expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation.
Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
As a precaution, in case of danger, the power connector is the product’s main disconnect device and must be easily
accessible.
Warning!
The power connector is the product’s main disconnect device and must be easily
accessible.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing a not hot-swappable Kontron product into a system always ensure that
your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the installation of piggybacks. Serious
electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation, repair and maintenance operations
with this product. Therefore, always unplug the power cable and any other cables which
provide external voltages before performing work.
Earth ground connection to vehicle’s chassis or a central grounding point shall remain
connected.
The earth ground cable shall be the last disconnected or the first connected during
operations of cabling.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care
must be taken during all handling operations and inspections of this product, in order to
ensure product integrity at all times
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it is
otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where a safe work station is not
guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged before touching the product with his/her hands
or tools. This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggybacks, ROM devices,
jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory backup, ensure that the board is not placed
on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the
batteries or conductive circuits on the board.
