KISS Oil & Gas 2U User’s Manual
2.1. Designed for the Oil and Gas Industry
Today’s opportunities for new drill sites are requiring the oil and gas industry to expand data collection and
analysis efforts. Frontier acreage and challenging geographic installations are needed to meet the ever
increasing demand from emerging and traditional markets. Unconventional sources of gas and oil further
complicate the need to capture data for field use, control and analysis. Often the field and control centers are
subjected to harsh environments.
Kontron has been designing and manufacturing embedded computer systems, subsystems and computer
boards for the extreme needs of the military and industrial use for decades. By utilizing this expertise Kontron
has developed the KISS Oil & Gas 2U, a rugged rackmount server designed to meet the needs for a tough,
reliable server for the Oil & Gas industry. Since Kontron builds the motherboards and the systems, Kontron
has optimized the server for reliability and high MTBF and can offer worldwide technical support. The system
meets shock and vibration considerations, as well as the temperature and dust extremes common to Oil &
Gas installations.
All Kontron systems are revision controlled for ease of in field maintenance and since Kontron develops the
motherboard and the system, each system is optimized and capabilities are enabled to meet Oil & Gas needs.
Longtime availability of the motherboard and system reduces in-field operational costs and personnel training
as drill sites are expanded. Each system has a front accesible dust filter as well as cable tie-downs, hold-down
brackets and shock mountings to ease transport.
Applications for the KISS Oil & Gas 2U include:
»Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
»Control room management
»Oil & Gas exploration
»Natural gas processing
»Wellhead monitoring control
»Unconventional sources exploration and control
»Evaluation during implementation of new technology
Kontron also offers custom product development services to the Oil & Gas industry for customers needing a
high volume of systems.

4.1. Operation of Laser Source Devices
Fig. 1: Laser Radiation Warning Label
The optional DVD drive contain light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance with IEC 825-1:1993:
LASER CLASS 1) and must therefore not be opened.
When the drive housing is open, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do not expose yourself to the laser
beam.
The laser system meets the requirements of Federal Regulations 21 CFR, 1040 in the USA and the
Canadian Radiation Emitting Devices Act pursuant to REDR C 1370.

1. Transport boards and cards in electrostatically secure containers or bags.
2. Keep electrostatically sensitive components in their containers, until they arrive at an
electrostatically protected workplace.
3. Only touch electrostatically sensitive components when you are properly earthed.
4. Store electrostatically sensitive components in protective packaging or on anti- static mats.
4.3. 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 antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3. Always handle electrostatically 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.
