Care and handling precautions for Lithium batteries
•Do not short circuit
•Do not heat or incinerate
•Do not charge
•Do not deform or disassemble
•Do not apply solder directly
•Do not mix different types or partially used batteries together
•Always observe proper polarities

READ ME FIRST
Your computer board has a standard non-rechargeable lithium battery. To preserve the
battery lifetime, the battery enable jumper is removed when you receive the
board.
EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE REPLACING LITHIUM BATTERY
 WARNING
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
 ATTENTION
Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type
équivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries
usagées conformément aux instructions du fabriquant.
ACHTUNG
Explosionsgefahr bei falschem Batteriewechsel. Verwenden Sie nur die
empfohlenen Batterietypen des Herstellers. Entsorgen Sie die verbrauchten
Batterien laut Gebrauchsanweisung des Herstellers.
 ATENCION
Puede explotar si la pila no este bien reemplazada.
Solo reemplazca la pila con tipas equivalentes segun las instrucciones del
manifacturo. Vote las pilas usadas segun las instrucciones del manifacturo.

 IMPORTANT
J1 and J2 pinout is as per PICMG standard.
J3 and J5 pinout is user-defined and varies between various
manufacturers. Contact our Technical Support to verify pinout
compatibility with other chassis backplane vendors.
 POWERING-UP THE BOARD
If you should encounter a problem, verify the following items:
Make sure that all connectors are properly connected.
Check your boot diskette.
If the board still does not start up properly, you should try booting your
system with the cPCI- MXP64GX installed in the system, a monitor and a
keyboard connected to the board. This is the minimum required to verify
the board’s operation.
If you still are not able to verify your board, please refer to the
emergency Procedure in the Appendix Section.
If you still are not able to get your board up and running, contact our
technical Support department for assistance.
PREVENTING VIRUSES
Kontron Inc. takes every precaution against computer viruses.
To safeguard against computer viruses in general, do not freely lend your
diskettes and regularly perform virus scans on all your computer
systems.
 ADAPTER CABLES
While adapter cables are provided from various sources, the pinout is often
different. The direct crimp design offered by Kontron allows the simplest
cable assembly. All cables are available from Kontron Sales Department.

UNPACKING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Since static electricity can cause damage to electronic devices, the following precautions
should be taken:
1. Keep the board in its anti-static package, until you are ready to install it.
2. Always touch a grounded surface or wear a grounding wrist strap before removing the
board from its package; this will discharge any static electricity that may have built up
in your body.
3. Handle the board by the edges.
Storage Environment
Electronic boards are sensitive devices. Do not handle or store devices near strong
electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic or radioactive fields.
Power Supply
Before any installation or setup, ensure that the board is unplugged from power sources or
subsystems.
Unpacking
Follow these recommendations while unpacking:
1. After opening the box, save it and the packing material for possible future shipment.
2. Remove the board from its anti-static wrapping and place it on a grounded surface.
3. Inspect the board for damage. If there is any damage or missing items, notify Kontron
immediately.
When unpacking you will find:
1. One cPCI- MXP64GX, 6U CompactPCI® Peripheral Processor.
2. One Quick Reference sheet
3. One CDROM containing drivers.
