5 Getting Started
The aTCA-6155 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-6155. ADLINK assumes no responsibility for
any damage resulting from failure to comply with these require-
ments.
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 system power before installing the board in a
free slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life or health and may
damage your board or system.
Certain blades 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:
X Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly.
Tools must be discharged before use.
X Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
X If working at an anti-static workbench with professional dis-
charging equipment, please do not omit to use it.
