AMC-1000
5 Getting Started
The AMC-1000 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 module, other system components,
or injury to personnel.
5.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing
or operating the AMC-1000. ADLINK assumes no responsibility for
any damage resulting from failure to comply with these require-
ments.
Exercised due care when handling the module as the heat sink
can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or
removing the module. The module should not be placed on any
surface or in any form of storage container until the module and
heat sink have cooled down to room temperature.
When first installing modules in an empty chassis or onto a carrier
card, it is recommended to start at the left of the card cage and
work to the right. When inserting or removing a module in a slot
adjacent to other modules, pay attention to avoid damage to the
pins and components located on front and rear sides of the mod-
ules.
This AMC module contains electrostatically sensitive devices.
Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid damage to
your product:
X Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly.
Tools must be discharged before use.
X Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
X Work at an anti-static workbench with professional dis-
charging equipment.
