2.3 Handling Procedures
The HW400c/2 board uses CMOS components that can be easily damaged by static
electrical discharge. To avoid damage, familiarize yourself with electrostatic
discharge (ESD) procedures, which include the following precautions:
• The board should be handled only by trained service personnel at an approved
ESD workstation.
• Refer to ANSI/IPC-A-610 developed by the Institute for Interconnecting and
Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC).
• Keep the board in a sealed conductive plastic bag while in transit.
• When installing the board in the field, ground yourself to the system chassis
before removing the board from the sealed conductive plastic bag (the power
plug must be installed on the system for this to be effective).
• Any equipment used to work on the board must be grounded. Any person
handling the board must be grounded.
• Check alignment and polarization of cables and connectors before applying
power.
• Do not apply external voltages to any devices on the board with power removed
from the board.
• Do not attempt to straighten any part soldered to the board, as pin breakage or
internal damage could occur.
2.4 Hardware Installation of the HW400c/2
The HW400c/2 is designed for use in a 6U CompactPCI enclosure.
Be sure to follow safe ESD procedures when handling electronic hardware. !
• Remove the HW400c/2 from the protective bag.
• Slide the HW400c/2 into an available peripheral board slot in the CompactPCI
chassis. Check that the board is aligned properly on the card guides.
• Completely insert the board until the top and bottom board ejectors lock into
place. If chassis power is on the blue hot swap LED will blink and turn off.
• Tighten top and bottom screws to secure the HW400c/2 in place.
