1 Safety Notes

This section provides safety precautions to follow when installing, op-

erating, and maintaining the SPARC/CPU-5V. For your protection,

follow all warnings and instructions found in the following text.

General

Notes This Installation Guide provides the necessary information to install

and handle the SPARC/CPU-5V. As the product is complex and its

usage manifold, we do not guarantee that the given information is

complete. In case you need additional information, ask your Force

Computers representative.

The SPARC/CPU-5V has been designed to meet the standard indus-

trial safety requirements. It must not be used except in its specific

area of office telecommunication industry and industrial control.

Only personnel trained by Force Computers or qualified persons in

electronics or electrical engineering are authorized to install, unin-

stall or maintain the SPARC/CPU-5V. The information given in this

manual is meant to complete the knowledge of a specialist and must

not be taken as replacement for qualified personnel.

Make sure that contacts and cables of the board cannot be touched

while the board is operating.

Installation Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and uninstal-

lation can damage circuits or shorten their life. Therefore:

• Before installing the board or uninstalling the board, read this

Installation Guide.

• Before installing or uninstalling the board in a VME rack:

– Check all installed boards for steps that you have to take

before turning off the power.

– Take those steps.

– Finally turn off the power.

• Before touching integrated circuits, ensure that you are working

in an electrostatic free environment.

• Ensure that the board is connected to the VMEbus via both con-

nectors, the P1 and the P2 and that power is available on both.

Safety Notes

Page 2 SPARC/CPU-5V

• When operating the board in areas of strong electro-magnetic

radiation, ensure that the board is:

– Bolted on the VME rack

– Shielded by closed housing

• When plugging the board in or removing it, do not press on the

front panel but use the handles.

• Before installing or uninstalling the board, read section 3 “Intro-

duction” on page 9.

• Before installing or uninstalling an additional device or module,

read the respective documentation.

• Software must not enable or disable the VME Slot 1 Function in

a way which contradicts with the switch setting of SW8-2. Take

care not to change the value of bit 1 in the Global Control and

Status Register (GCSR) of the FGA-5000. Please see the FGA-

5000 Reference Guide for further details.

• Before installing the SPARC CPU-5V in a miniforce chassis,

please first disable the VMEbus System Controller function by

setting switch SW8-2 to OFF and also setting SW7-4 to OFF.

Operation • When operating the board in areas of strong electromagnetic

radiation ensure that the board is bolted on the VME rack and

shielded by closed housing.

• Do not switch SW7-4 (SYSRESET output) to ON and SW8-2

(VMEbus Slot-1 device) to OFF at the same time.

• When the Ethernet interface is configured via VMEbus P2, do

not connect the Ethernet at the front panel.

• The IOBP-10 back panel is especially designed for the SPARC

CPU-5V. Do not use any other I/O back panels on the SPARC

CPU-5V, for example, the IOBP-1.

EMC • If boards are integrated into open systems, always cover empty

slots.

Expansion • Check the total power consumption of all components installed

(see the technical specification of the respective components).

• Ensure that any individual output current of any source stays

within its acceptable limits (see the technical specification of the

respective source).
