ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any
circuit board assemblies including Connect Tech
COM Express carrier assemblies, it is recommended
that ESD safety precautions be observed. ESD safe
best practices include, but are not limited to:
•Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
•Using a grounded wrist strap when handling
circuit boards, at a minimum you should touch a
grounded metal object to dissipate any static
charge that may be present on you.
•Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas,
which may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist
strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
•Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted
areas.
•Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding
contact with components.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION
1. Ensure all external system power supplies are off.
2. Install the necessary cables for application. At a minimum these would include:
a) Power cable to the input power connector on the carrier
b) USB micro-B cable to access debug port
For additional information on the relevant cables, please see the Cables and Interconnects section
of this manual.
3. Connect the Power Cable to the Power Supply. Ensure M12 screws are tighten properly. Failure
to do so will create a hazard from loose energized cable.
4. Switch ON the Power Supply. DO NOT power up your system by plugging in live power.
5. Unit will auto power-on or auto-boot once power is given.
