AT8001 User’s Guide
Before You Begin
Before handling the board, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following pages to
prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories”
section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including the distinction
between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes.
♦Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only qualified,
experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the interior of
the computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and energy hazards, which
can cause bodily harm.
♦Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the
installation instructions in this user’s guide for precautions and procedures. If you
have any questions, please contact Kontron Technical Support.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and
then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover.
Turning off the system power switch does not remove power to components.
WARNING
This product may contain CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

When Working Inside a Computer
Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:
Turn off the computer and any peripherals.
Disconnect the computer and peripherals from power sources or subsystems to prevent
electric shock or systemboard damage. This does not apply to when hot-swapping parts.
Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge“ on the following
page.
Disconnect telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
♦To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off
the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or
disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
♦When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on
the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are
disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sue both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself, except as explained in this user’s
guide. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper
ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Kontron strongly encourages you to
follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing
equipment.
Take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
♦When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove
the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure
you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any static electricity
that may have built up in your body.
♦When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
♦Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads and workbench pads.
♦Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on
a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
♦Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
