NetStructure™ MPRTM4808 Rear Transition Board Installation Guide
Operating Safety
2.3 Installation
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and removal can damage circuits or shorten
their life. Therefore:
• Make sure that you are working in an ESD-safe environment before touching boards or
electronic components.
• When plugging in or removing the board, do not press or pull on the front panel; use the
handles.
• Before installing or removing an additional device or module, read the device’s
documentation.
• Make sure that the board is connected to the CompactPCI backplane via all assembled
connectors and that power is available on all power pins.
• Only install and use the rear transition module with CPU boards especially designed for it.
Otherwise, both the CPU board and the rear transition module may be damaged.
• Make sure to use only the backplane’s rear slot position.
2.4 Operation
When operating the Intel MPRTM4808 board in areas of electromagnetic radiation, ensure that the
board is bolted on the CompactPCI system and the system is shielded by enclosure.
Make sure that the board’s contacts and cables cannot be touched while the board is operating.
Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits. High humidity and
condensation may cause short circuits. Make sure the product is completely dry and there is no
moisture on any surface before applying power. Do not operate the product below 0°C.
2.5 Replacement/Expansion
Only replace or expand components or system parts with those recommended by Intel. Otherwise,
you are fully responsible for the impact on EMC or any possible malfunction of the product.
Check the total power consumption of all components installed and ensure that any individual
output current of any source stays within its acceptable limits. (See the technical specification of
the respective source.)
If more than two IDE devices are connected to the IDE bus, the bus is not able to recognize all of
the devices and the Intel MPRTM4808 board might not start correctly. Therefore, only connect up
to two devices to the secondary EIDE interface on the RTB.
If the secondary EIDE interface on the Intel MPRTM4808 board is connected to an external device,
data may get lost. Therefore, always save data on disk before installing or removing the baseboard
under hot-swap conditions.
