Operation of this equipment ina residential area is likely tocause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Emerson could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. Board products are tested in a representative system to show compliance with
the above mentioned requirements. A proper installation in a compliant system will maintain
the required performance. Use only shielded cables when connecting peripherals to assure
that appropriate radio frequency emissions compliance is maintained.
Installation
Before installing the board make sure the requirements listed in section "Board Exchange" are
met.
Restricted access area - This board is only to be installed in a restricted access area.
Data Loss
Removing the board with the blue LED still blinking causes data loss.
Wait until the blue LED is permanently illuminated, before removing the board.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and removal can damage circuits or
shorten their life.
Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an
ESD-safe environment or wear ESD wrist straps.
Board Malfunctioning
Incorrect board installation and removal can result in board malfunctioning.
Make sure that the board is connected to the system backplane via all assembled connectors
and that power is available on all zone 1 power pins.
Damage of the Product
Incorrect installation of the product can cause damage of the product,
Only use handles when installing/removing the product to avoid damage/deformation to the
face plate and/or PCB.

Damage of the Product and Additional Devices and Modules
Incorrect installation or removal of additional devices or modules may damage the product or
the additional devices or modules.
Before installing or removing additional devices or modules, read the respective
documentation.
Operation
Board Damage
Board surface
High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the board is
completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
Board Overheating and Board Damage
Operating the board without forced air cooling may lead to board overheating and thus board
damage.
When operating the board, make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf.
Injuries or Short Circuits
Board or power supply
In case the ORing diodes of the board fail, the board may trigger a short circuit between input
line A and input line B so that line A remains powered even if it is disconnected from the power
supply circuit (and vice versa).
To avoid damage or injuries, always check that there is no more voltage on the line that has
been disconnected before continuing your work.
Hot Swap
Installing the board into or removing it from a powered system not supporting hot swap or
high availability causes board damage and data loss. Therefore, only install it in or remove it
from a powered system if the system itself supports hot swap or high availability and if the
system documentation explicitly includes guidelines.

RJ-45 Connector
The RJ-45 connector on the face plate must only be used for twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE)
connections. Connecting a telephone to such a connector may destroy your telephone as well
as your board. Therefore:
zClearly mark TPE connectors near your working area as network connectors.
zOnly connect TPE bushing of the system to safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits.
zMake sure that the length of the electric cable connected to a TPE bushing does not
exceed 100 m.
If you have further questions, ask your system administrator.
Replacement/Expansion
Only replace or expand components or system parts with those recommended by Emerson.
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 (see the technical
specification of the respective components). Ensure that any individual output current of any
source stays within its acceptable limits (see the technical specification of the respective
source).
Environment
Always dispose of used products according to your country’s legislation and manufacturer’s
instructions.
