2.7 ESD protection
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge
ESDS: Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive
ATTENTION
Electrostatic discharge.
Components may be destroyed.
• Consider protective measures for ESD.
Correctly assembled ESDS devices are protected against ESD
Unassembled ESDS devices, particularly the interior parts (e.g. the mother board),
can be damaged on contact due to ESD. During the handling of these ESDS
devices (e.g. during assembly), protective measures for ESD should be observed.
The damage may only be noticeable after a prolonged operational time.
Protective measures
• Wear protective clothing against ESD
• Ground your work area
• Use ESD packaging

3.2.3 CompactFlash card (CF card)
ATTENTION
Do not format CF card using Windows
Device will not boot
• Use M-Manager or Device Manager to format CF card.
• Request newly formatted CF card from Bachmann electronic GmbH.
NOTICE
CF card under voltage removing
Data loss
• Switch off the device or disconnect from the supply voltage.
The CF card is already formatted and contains the necessary system software. A
change of this configuration by the customer is not needed.
The CF card is used for storage of the user specific software or data. It is available
with memory sizes from 512 MB to 4 GB.
The CF card and the CF card slot of the device are mechanically coded so that the
CF card cannot be inserted in the wrong way. The card can be used either in the
CF card drive of a PC/Laptop or directly in the device.
The CF card is operated in the "True IDE" mode and therefore behaves like a
standard hard disk. 3.3 V and also 5 V types may be used. The corresponding
input voltage is automatically selected by the device.
In the mounted condition the CF card is protected against electromagnetic and
mechanical influences by a protective cover.
Use only cards of Bachmann electronic GmbH or those which have been released.
