Safety Instructions

Before You Begin

ää

äBefore You Begin

Before handling the USB-16REL, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following

pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the

“Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including

the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes.

JWhen you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not

on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are

disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting

the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid

bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both

connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

JDo not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this manual.

Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

äPreventing Electrostatic Discharge

A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or

micro-circuitry, such as circuit boards and microchips. Proper packaging and grounding

techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Perform service at an ESD workstation

and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Kontron strongly

encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist or heel straps and

smocks, when servicing equipment.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

JWhen unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not

remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install

the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,

be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any static

electricity that may have built up in your body.

JWhen transporting a static-sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.

JHandle all static-sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads. Tools and equipment used at an ESD

workstation should be grounded and conductive. Keep work area free of non-

conductive materials, such as plastic and Styrofoam.

JHandle static-sensitive components with care. Don’t touch the components or

contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

JTurn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test

equipment.

JDo not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,

magnetic, or radioactive fields.

JStore static-sensitive components in antistatic containers or packaging.
