Environment
Always dispose of used blades according to your country’s legislation, if possible in an environmentally acceptable way.
PMC Modules
Limited Power on PMC Modules and RTMs
The blade does not provide an extra fuse for PMC modules and RTMs.
PMC modules and RTMs used together with the blade have to be qualified according to the following standards: IEC 60950−1, EN 60950−1, UL 60950−1, CAN/CSA C22−2 No 60950−1
Excession of blade‘s power consumption
Exceeding the maximum combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules may damage the blade.a
Make sure that the combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules on the 3.3V and 5V rail does not exceed 60W.
PMC Module Malfunctioning
Processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32−2003) can be operated in two different modes: monarch and non−monarch mode.a
Make sure to operate any installed processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32−2003) only in non−monarch mode.a
Damage of Installed Hard Disk
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, the heat radiated by the heat sink of theses PMC modules heats up an installed hard disk that may be installed at the same time.a
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, make sure not to have a hard disk installed at the same time.a
Battery
Blade/System damage
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.a Therefore, exchange the battery as described in this manual.
Data loss
If the battery does not provide enough power anymore, the RTC is initialized and the data in the NVRAM is lost.
Therefore, exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.
