3. Installation
The CP342 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precau-
tions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper in-
stallation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to
personnel.
3.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the CP342.
Kontron assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these
requirements.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that the
heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or
removing the board.
In addition, the board should not be placed on any surface or in any form of
storage container until such time as the board and heat sink have cooled down
to room temperature.
Caution!
If your board type is not specifically qualified as being hot swap capable,
switch off the CompactPCI system power before installing the board in a free
CompactPCI slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life or health and may
damage your board or system.
Note ...
Certain CompactPCI boards require bus master and/or Rear I/O capability. If
you are in doubt whether such features are required for the board you intend
to install, please check your specific board and/or system documentation to
make sure that your system is provided with an appropriate free slot in which
to insert the board.
ESD Equipment!
This CompactPCI board contains electrostatic 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.
• Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
• If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging
equipment, please do not omit to use it.
