Precautions

3.1 Precautions

Power Supply Input Polarity and Maximum Voltage

Always ensure that the polarity and voltage of the external power connected to VCC power input connector J1, J2, and/or VDD power input connector J6 are correct. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can open on-board soldered-in fuses and cause other damage to the platform, installed evaluation modules, and/or the power source.

Inserting or Removing EVM Boards

Do not insert or remove EVM boards with power applied Ð damage to the EVM board, the platform, or both may result.
