AMC-S402 Installation
2.3.1Observe ESD Precautions
Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the component flat on a grounded,
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
2.3.2Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane, or other system components. Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component integrity before installation. Our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane or connector damage to the boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by improper installation or by boards with damaged connectors could void the warranty for the backplane or boards.
If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the system and contact your local sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.
2.4Use Caution When Installing or Removing AMC
When first installing boards in an empty chassis or onto a carrier card, we recommend that you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right.
When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the boards.
2.4.1Preserve EMI Compliance
To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for electromagnetic interference (EMI), during operation all front and rear openings on the chassis or board faceplates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered with a filler panel. If the EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to excessive interference.
