Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AM4204. 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.
ESD Equipment
This AMC 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 discharged 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.
WARNING
This product has gold conductive fingers which are susceptible to contamination.
Take care not to touch the gold conductive fingers of the AMC Card-edge connector
when handling the board.
Failure to comply with the instruction above may cause damage to the board or result
in improper system operation.
CAUTION
Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage your
eyes. The laser components plugged into the switch are Class 1 laser components.
Class 1 laser is considered incapable of producing damaging radiation levels during
normal operation or maintenance.
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal
circumstances:
•
Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic transmission components or
fiber-optic cables with unprotected eyes.
•
Never allow fiber-optic transmission path to operate until all the connections
have been made.
Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports of the switch.
WARNING
Be careful when inserting or removing the AM4204. The SFP+ cage has sharp edges
which might lead to injuries.
