1. IMPORTANT SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
WARNING!
ESD-Sensitive Electronic Equipment
Observe ESD-safe handling procedures when working with this product.
Always use this product in a properly grounded work area and wear appropriate
ESD-preventive clothing and/or accessories.
Always store this product in ESD-protective packaging when not in use.
Safe Handling Precautions
The Epsilon-12G2 board contains a high density connector with many connections to sensitive electronic
components. This creates many opportunities for accidental damage during handling, installation and connection
to other equipment. The list here describes common causes of failure found on boards returned to Diamond
Systems for repair. This information is provided as a source of advice to help you prevent damaging your
Diamond (or any vendor’s) boards.
ESD damage –This type of damage is usually almost impossible to detect, because there is no visual sign of
failure or damage. The symptom is that the board eventually simply stops working, because some component
becomes defective. Usually the failure can be identified and the chip can be replaced. To prevent ESD damage,
always follow proper ESD-prevention practices when handling computer boards.
Damage during handling or storage –On some boards we have noticed physical damage from mishandling. A
common observation is that a screwdriver slipped while installing the board, causing a gouge in the PCB surface
and cutting signal traces or damaging components.
Another common observation is damaged board corners, indicating the board was dropped. This may or may not
cause damage to the circuitry, depending on what is near the corner. Most of our boards are designed with at
least 25 mils clearance between the board edge and any component pad, and ground / power planes are at least
20 mils from the edge to avoid possible shorting from this type of damage. However these design rules are not
sufficient to prevent damage in all situations.
A third cause of failure is when a metal screwdriver tip slips, or a screw drops onto the board while it is powered
on, causing a short between a power pin and a signal pin on a component. This can cause overvoltage / power
supply problems described below. To avoid this type of failure, only perform assembly operations when the
system is powered off.
Sometimes boards are stored in racks with slots that grip the edge of the board. This is a common practice for
board manufacturers. However our boards are generally very dense, and if the board has components very close
to the board edge, they can be damaged or even knocked off the board when the board tilts back in the rack.
Diamond recommends that all our boards be stored only in individual ESD-safe packaging. If multiple boards are
stored together, they should be contained in bins with dividers between boards. Do not pile boards on top of each
other or cram too many boards into a small location. This can cause damage to connector pins or fragile
components.
Power supply wired backwards –Our power supplies and boards are not designed to withstand a reverse
power supply connection. This will destroy each IC that is connected to the power supply (i.e. almost all ICs). In
this case the board will most likely will be unrepairable and must be replaced. A chip destroyed by reverse power
or by excessive power will often have a visible hole on the top or show some deformation on the top surface due
to vaporization inside the package. Check twice before applying power!
Overvoltage on analog input –If a voltage applied to an analog input exceeds the design specification of the
board, the input multiplexor and/or parts behind it can be damaged. Most of our boards will withstand an
erroneous connection of up to 35V on the analog inputs, even when the board is powered off, but not all boards,
and not in all conditions.
Overvoltage on analog output –If an analog output is accidentally connected to another output signal or a
power supply voltage, the output can be damaged. On most of our boards, a short circuit to ground on an analog
output will not cause trouble.
Overvoltage on digital I/O line –If a digital I/O signal is connected to a voltage above the maximum specified
voltage, the digital circuitry can be damaged. On most of our boards the acceptable range of voltages connected
to digital I/O signals is 0-5V, and they can withstand about 0.5V beyond that (-0.5 to 5.5V) before being damaged.
However logic signals at 12V and even 24V are common, and if one of these is connected to a 5V logic chip, the
chip will be damaged, and the damage could even extend past that chip to others in the circuit.

socket and the 2.5G port is the bottom port.

Epsilon-12G2 User Manual Revision A.02 www.diamondsystems.com Page 10
6.4 LED Status Signals (J17)
Connector J17 provides access to the Ethernet LED signals for each of the twelve ports. LEDs may be directly
connected to these signals without requiring any current-limiting resistors. The 3.3V supply required for the LEDs
is also provided by the connector. The control signals pull the LED pin low to turn it on. To use J17 to operate an
LED externally to Epsilon-12G2, connect the LED’s anode (+) to the 3.3V pin (J17 pin 25). Connect the LED’s
cathode (-) to the corresponding control signal on connector J17.
The on board activity LED is a green LED (LTST-C190GKT) with a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and a
maximum of 2.6V with a 20mA If. The on board speed LED is a Yellow LED (LTST-C190YKT) with the same
characteristics. The control signal is capable of sinking a maximum of 18mA. The series resistor is 330 ohms,
which gives an If of about 3.6mA. When an LED is connected to connector J17, it is in parallel with the on board
LED. If the external LED has about the same forward voltage, the current will be cut in half. If the external LED
has a lower forward voltage, it will dominate the on-board LED and be brighter. Therefore, if the external LED is
not bright enough use an external LED with a lower forward voltage.
