2.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the CP-RIO6-923. Kontron
assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.
ESD Sensitive Device
This CompactPCI 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 dis-
charged 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 anti-
static 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 con-
tainer or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use an-
tistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle components and boards with care. Do not 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, electromag-
netic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
