3 Handling And Installation
3.1 Handling Precautions
Electronic assemblies use devices that are sensitive to static discharge. Observe anti-static procedures when
handling these boards. All products should be in an anti-static plastic bag or conductive foam for storage or
shipment. Work at an approved anti-static work station when unpacking boards.
3.2 Unpacking Instructions
RAMiX products are shipped in individual, reusable shipping boxes. When receiving the shipping container,
inspect it for any evidence of physical damage. IF the container is damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be
present during the unpacking of individual boxes and the inspection of each unit.
Remove the PMC module from the shipping box and anti-static packaging. Verify that it is not damaged and that
all items are present by referring to the packing list.
3.3 Installation
The PMCModule is now ready for installation. Installation is done generically as with the commercial versions of
the card. Follow any specific procedures recommended by the manufacturer for the chassis used.
Turn all system power OFF. Remove the host board from the chassis (if currently installed). Locate the PMC
connectors on the host board. Carefully plug the PMC into the mating connectors on the host’s Printed Circuit
Board (PCB). Be sure the PMC module is seated properly into CMC connectors on the host. Refer to the
following pages.
