Safety Notes
This section provides safety precautions to follow when installing, oper-
ating, and maintaining the PENT/CPCI-721. For your protection, follow
all warnings and instructions found in the following text.
This Installation Guide provides the necessary information to install
and handle the PENT/CPCI-721. As the product is complex and its
usage manifold, we do not guarantee that the given information is com-
plete. If you need additional information, ask your Force Computers
representative.
The PENT/CPCI-721 has been designed to meet the standard indus-
trial safety requirements. It must not be used except in its specific
area of office telecommunication industry and industrial control.
Only personnel trained by Force Computers or persons qualified in
electronics or electricalengineering are authorized to install, uninstall
or maintain the PENT/CPCI-721. The information given in this man-
ual is meant to complete the knowledge of a specialist and must not
be taken as replacement for qualified personnel.
EMC
The board has been tested in a Standard Force Computers system and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device in this
system, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules respectively EN 55022
Class A.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the system is operated in a commercial
environment.
The board generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed properly and used in accordance with this Instal-
lation Guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operating the system in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to cor-
rect the interference at his own expense.
If boards are integrated into open systems, always cover empty slots.
To ensure proper EMC shielding, always operate the PENT/CPCI-721
with the blind panels or with PMC modules installed.

xx PENT/CPCI-721
Installation
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and uninstal-
lation can damage circuits or shorten their life. Therefore:
• Before installing or uninstalling the board, check the “Require-
ments” section on page 2-3.
• Before touching integrated circuits, make sure that you are work-
ing in an ESD-safe environment.
• When plugging the board in or removing it, do not press on the
front panel but use the handles.
• Before installing or uninstalling an additional device or module,
read the respective documentation.
• Make sure that the board is connected to the CompactPCI back-
plane via all assembled connectors and that power is available on
all power pins.
• Never operate the PENT/CPCI-721 without I/O board.
Operation
While operating the board ensure that the environmental and power
requirements are met.
When operating the board in areas of strong electromagnetic radia-
tion ensure that the board is bolted on the CompactPCI rack and
shielded by enclosure.
Make sure that contacts and cables of the board cannot be touched
while the board is operating.
Expansion
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).
Only replace components or system parts with those recommended
by Force Computers. Otherwise, you are fully responsible for the
impact on EMI and the possibly changed functionality of the product.
