5 Getting Started
The aTCA-6200 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions,
installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and
to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.
5.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the aTCA-6200.
ADLINK assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these
requirements.
Exercised due care when handling the board as the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat
sink when installing or removing the board. The board should not be placed on any surface or in any
form of storage container until the board and heat sink have cooled down to room temperature.
If your board type is not specifically qualified as being hot swap capable, switch off the AMC system
power before installing the board in a free AMC slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life or
health and may damage your board or system.
Certain AMC modules 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.
This ATCA blade 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 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.
