cPCI-3920
4 Getting Started
The cPCI-3920 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.
4.1 Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing
or operating the cPCI-3920. 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 remov-
ing 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 CompactPCI system power before install-
ing the board in a free CompactPCI slot. Failure to do so could
endanger your life or health and may damage your board or sys-
tem.
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 sys-
tem is provided with an appropriate free slot in which to insert the
board.
This CompactPCI board contains electrostatically sensitive
devices. Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid dam-
age 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.
