Introduction

1.3Precautions

This section contains safety information and advice on how to avoid damage to the

PB926EJ-S.

1.3.1Ensuring safety

The PB926EJ-S can be powered from one of the following sources:

the supplied power supply connected to J35

a bench power supply connected to the screw terminals on header J34

an external PCI bus.

Warning

Do not supply more than one power source. If you are using the baseboard with the PCI enclosure for example, do not connect a power source to J35 or J34.

To avoid a safety hazard, only connect Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) equipment to the connectors on the PB926EJ-S.

1.3.2Preventing damage

The PB926EJ-S is intended for use in a laboratory or engineering development environment. If operated without an enclosure, the board is sensitive to electrostatic discharges and generates electromagnetic emissions.

Caution

To avoid damage to the board, observe the following precautions.

never subject the board to high electrostatic potentials

always wear a grounding strap when handling the board

only hold the board by the edges

avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element

do not connect more than one power source to the platform

always power down the board when connecting RealView Logic Tiles or expansion boards.

Caution

Do not use the board near equipment that is:

sensitive to electromagnetic emissions (such as medical equipment)

a transmitter of electromagnetic emissions.
