Explanation of Symbols
For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long
fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by im-
proper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety
and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform with
the following guidelines.
CE Conformity
This symbol indicates that the product described in this manual is in compli-
ance with all applied CE standards. Please refer also to the section “Applied
Standards” in this manual.
Caution, Electric Shock!
This symbol and title warn of hazards due to electrical shocks (> 60V) when
touching products or parts of them. Failure to observe the precautions indi-
cated and/or prescribed by the law may endanger your life/health and/or
result in damage to your material.
Please refer also to the section “High Voltage Safety Instructions” on the fol-
lowing page.
Warning, ESD Sensitive Device!
This symbol and title inform that electronic boards and their components are
sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all han-
dling operations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product
integrity at all times.
Please read also the section “Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions”

Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled person-
nel only.
Warning!
Do not connect a switch port to a telephone line.
Warning!
For intallation in a Hot-Plug system, observe the safety instructions specific to
the system. Read the relevant documentation.
Caution, Electric Shock!
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.
Caution, Laser Light!
Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage
your eyes. The laser components plugged into the switch are Class 1 laser
components. Class 1 laser is considered incapable of producing damaging
radiation levels during normal operation or maintenance.
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of
abnormal circumstances:
•Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic transmission compo-
nents or fiber-optic cables with unprotected eyes.
•Never allow fiber-optic transmission path to operate until all the connec-
tions have been made.
•Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports of the switch.

Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational pur-
poses unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing mezza-
nines, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations and inspections
of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at all times.

AG and described in this manual or received from Kontron’s Technical Support as a special
handling instruction, will void your warranty.
This device should only be installed in or connected to systems that fulfill all necessary techni-
cal and specific environmental requirements. This applies also to the operational temperature
range of the specific board version, which must not be exceeded. If batteries are present their
temperature restrictions must be taken into account.
In performing all necessary installation and application operations, please follow only the in-
structions supplied by the present manual.
Keep all the original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments. If it is neces-
sary to store or ship the board please re-pack it as nearly as possible in the manner in which it

Two Year Warranty
Kontron AG grants the original purchaser of Kontron’s products a TWO YEAR LIMITED HARDWARE
WARRANTY as described in the following. However, no other warranties that may be granted or
implied by anyone on behalf of Kontron are valid unless the consumer has the express written
consent of Kontron AG.
Kontron AG warrants their own products, excluding software, to be free from manufacturing
and material defects for a period of 24 consecutive months from the date of purchase. This war-
ranty is not transferable nor extendible to cover any other users or long-term storage of the
product. It does not cover products which have been modified, altered or repaired by any other
party than Kontron AG or their authorized agents. Furthermore, any product which has been,
or is suspected of being damaged as a result of negligence, improper use, incorrect handling,
servicing or maintenance, or which has been damaged as a result of excessive current/voltage
or temperature, or which has had its serial number(s), any other markings or parts thereof al-
tered, defaced or removed will also be excluded from this warranty.
If the customer’s eligibility for warranty has not been voided, in the event of any claim, he may
return the product at the earliest possible convenience to the original place of purchase, togeth-
er with a copy of the original document of purchase, a full description of the application the
product is used on and a description of the defect. Pack the product in such a way as to ensure
safe transportation (see our safety instructions).
Kontron provides for repair or replacement of any part, assembly or sub-assembly at their own
discretion, or to refund the original cost of purchase, if appropriate. In the event of repair, re-
funding or replacement of any part, the ownership of the removed or replaced parts reverts to
Kontron AG, and the remaining part of the original guarantee, or any new guarantee to cover
the repaired or replaced items, will be transferred to cover the new or repaired items. Any ex-
tensions to the original guarantee are considered gestures of goodwill, and will be defined in
the “Repair Report” issued by Kontron with the repaired or replaced item.
Kontron AG will not accept liability for any further claims resulting directly or indirectly from any
warranty claim, other than the above specified repair, replacement or refunding. In particular,
all claims for damage to any system or process in which the product was employed, or any loss
incurred as a result of the product not functioning at any given time, are excluded. The extent
of Kontron AG liability to the customer shall not exceed the original purchase price of the item
for which the claim exists.
Kontron AG issues no warranty or representation, either explicit or implicit, with respect to its
products’ reliability, fitness, quality, marketability or ability to fulfil any particular application or
purpose. As a result, the products are sold “as is,” and the responsibility to ensure their suit-
ability for any given task remains that of the purchaser. In no event will Kontron be liable for
direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use of our hardware or software
products, or documentation, even if Kontron were advised of the possibility of such claims prior
to the purchase of the product or during any period since the date of its purchase.
Please remember that no Kontron AG employee, dealer or agent is authorized to make any
modification or addition to the above specified terms, either verbally or in any other form, written
or electronically transmitted, without the company’s consent.
