4. General Safety Instruction for IT Equipment
Please read this chapter carefully and take careful note of the instructions, which have been compiled for
your safety and to ensure to apply in accordance with intended regulations. If the following general safety
instructions are not observed, it could lead to injuries to the operator and/or damage of the product; in
cases of nonobservance of the instructions Kontron is exempt from accident liability, this also applies
during the warranty period.
The product has been built and tested according to the basic safety requirements for low voltage (LVD) applications and
has left the manufacturer in safety-related, flawless condition. To maintain this condition and to also ensure safe
operation, the operator must not only observe the correct operating conditions for the product but also the following
general safety instructions:
The product must be used as specified in the product documentation, in which the instructions for safety for the
product and for the operator are described. These contain guidelines for setting up, installation and assembly,
maintenance, transport or storage.
The on-site electrical installation must meet the requirements of the country's specific local regulations.
If a power cable comes with the product, only this cable should be used. Do not use an extension cable to connect the
product.
To guarantee that sufficient air circulation is available to cool the product, please ensure that the ventilation openings
are not covered or blocked. If a filter mat is provided, this should be cleaned regularly. Do not place the system close to
heat sources or damp places. Make sure the system is well ventilated.
Only devices or parts which fulfill the requirements of SELV circuits (Safety Extra Low Voltage) as stipulated by
IEC 60950-1 may be connected to the available interfaces.
Before opening the device, make sure that the device is disconnected from the mains.
Switching off the device by its power button does not disconnect it from the mains. Complete disconnection is only
possible if the power cable is removed from the wall plug or from the device. Ensure that there is free and easy access to
enable disconnection.
The device may only be opened for the insertion or removal of add-on cards (depending on the configuration of the
system). This may only be carried out by qualified operators.
If extensions are being carried out, the following must be observed:
•all effective legal regulations and all technical data are adhered to
•the power consumption of any add-on card does not exceed the specified limitations
•the current consumption of the system does not exceed the value stated on the product label.
Only original accessories that have been approved by Kontron can be used.
Please note: safe operation is no longer possible when any of the following applies:
•the device has visible damages or
•the device is no longer functioning
In this case the device must be switched off and it must be ensured that the device can no longer be operated.

4. General Safety Instruction for IT Equipment KISS 1U_SBC_762 – User's Guide (Version 1.1)

Additional safety instructions for DC power supply circuits
To guarantee safe operation of devices with DC power supply voltages larger than 60 volts DC or a power consumption
larger than 240 VA, please observe that:
•the device is set up, installed and operated in a room or enclosure marked with “RESTRICTED ACCESS”, if there are no
safety messages on product as safety signs and labels on the device itself.
•no cables or parts without insulation in electrical circuits with dangerous voltage or power should be touched
directly or indirectly
•a reliable protective earthing connection is provided
•a suitable, easily accessible disconnecting device is used in the application (e.g. overcurrent protective device), if
the device itself is not disconnectable
•a disconnect device, if provided in or as part of the equipment, shall disconnect both poles simultaneously
•interconnecting power circuits of different devices cause no electrical hazards
A sufficient dimensioning of the power cable wires must be selected – according to the maximum electrical
specifications on the product label – as stipulated by EN60950-1 or VDE0100 or EN60204 or UL508 regulations.
The devices do not generally fulfill the requirements for "centralized DC power systems“ (UL 60950-1, Annex NAB; D2)
and therefore may not be connected to such devices!
Caution:
Energy hazards
>
240 VA are present inside the chassis!
Activities such as system expansion with expansion cards, or maintanance have to be carried-out by
qualified personnel familiar with the associated dangers!
The installation instructions for the KISS 1U Platform is the responsibility of the distributor.
When used as intended the KISS 1U platform is to operate only closed and locked.
Only when the cover is properly installed, secured with the knurled screws on the rear and the cover
fastening screw on the front, and the access panel is locked with the key, it is ensured that the user doesn’t
have access to the internal parts of the KISS 1U platform, loaded with hazardous energy.
4.1. Operation of Laser Source Devices
Fig. 1: Laser radiation warning label
The optional CD ROM and DVD drives contain light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2007: LASER
CLASS 1) and therefore must not be opened.
If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do not allow yourself to be exposed to this
radiation.
The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR, 1040 for the USA and the Canadian Radiation Emitting
Devices Act, REDR C 1370.

4.2. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
4.2.1. Grounding Methods
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damages to the device:
1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace as well as
properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizes to give added protection.
3. Always handle electrostatic sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners which are conductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
4.3. Instructions for the Lithium Battery
The installed CPU board is equipped with a Lithium battery. When replacing the lithium battery, please follow the
corresponding instructions in the section 10.3 “Replacing the Lithium Battery”.
Caution
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recognized.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the
local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for
dispose of batteries).
