Safety Instructions
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 improper 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.
Temperature and High Voltage Safety Instructions
Note...
This symbol and title emphasize aspects the reader should read through carefully for his
or her own advantage.
CE Conformity
This symbol indicates that the product described in this manual is in compliance
with all applied CE standards. Please refer also to the section „Regulatory cpmpli-
ance Statements“ in this manual.
WARNING
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled per-
sonnel only.
Be careful, this device will heat up during operation, and if touched
may cause burns. The temperature of the product housing may reach up
to approximately 50°C. Allow for sufficient cool down before handling
after power is turned off.
Electric Shock
Before installing your new Kontron product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the
installation of piggybacks.
Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.

Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes 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 guar-
anteed, 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 piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper
settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory back-up, ensure that the system is not placed on conduc-
tive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conduc-
tive circuits on the system.
Laser Lights
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 pro-
ducing damaging radiation levels during normal operation or mainte-
nance.
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 com-
ponents or fiber-optic cables with unprotected eyes.
• Never allow fiber-optic transmission path to operate until all the con-
nections have been made.
• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports of the switch.
ESD Sensitive Device
Electronic systems 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.
