Unpacking and Handling Instructions
1. Please read this manual carefully before unpacking the module or fitting it into your system. This will
certainly save time and avoid trouble.
2. Please observe the precautions for electrostatic sensitive modules.
3. If the product contains batteries, please do not place the board on conductive surfaces or anti-static
plastic or sponge, which can cause shorts and lead to battery or board trace damage.
4. Please do not exceed the specified operational temperatures. Please note that batteries might have
temperature restrictions.
5. Keep all original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments of the board.
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by SBS Technologies. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions of SBS Technologies.
Notes
Drain static electricity before you install or remove any parts. Installing or removing modules without
observing this precaution could result in damage to this and/or other modules in your system.
Installation
Use the following steps to install your SBS Technologies
hardware.
General Advisories
1. Before installing or removing any board, please ensure that the system power and external supplies
have been turned off.
2. Check that the jumpers and piggybacks are correctly configured for your application.
3. Mount the board/piggyback/transition module very carefully. See also additional advisories for
VMEbus and CompactPCI products below.
4. Connect all I/O cables.
5. Once you are certain that all modules are correctly fitted into the system and all connections have been
made properly, restore the power.
Advisories for VMEbus products
On a standard VMEbus backplane, remove the jumpers on the IACKIN - IACKOUT interrupt daisy
chain (1 jumper) and on the BGxIN - BGxOUT busgrant daisy chains (4 jumpers) for the slot where the
board is to be mounted. The daisy chain jumpers on the VMEbus backplane should be mounted on all
free slots.
Setting jumpers is not necessary for the SBS Technologies
Auto-Daisy-Chain VMEbus backplane
(order number: VBUSxxAD). Please read additional advisories within the manual.
A board with system controller functionality must be fitted at slot 1 (for SBS Technologies
products,
see additional notes within the manual).
Advisories for Compact PCI products
Mount the CPU board carefully on the first CPCIbus slot (called system slot). Note that on some boards
connectors are used for I/O purposes which must not be inserted into a CPCIbus backplane. A transition
module must be used instead.
