Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Store and transport the mini-PCIe card in the antistatic bag
Only remove it from the antistatic bag when it is ready to be installed
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the
module or system.
When installing/ servicing modules in the system, remove the system from DIN
rail or mount and place it on a flat and sturdy surface/ location
Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data
cables
Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
Should the module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to
minimize down-time
If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

Service and Maintenance/ ESD Precautions
Service and Maintenance
ONLY qualified personnel should service the system
Shutdown the system, disconnect the power cord and all other cable
connections before servicing the system
When replacing/ installing additional components (expansion card, memory
module, etc.), insert them as gently as possible while assuring proper
connector engagement
ESD Precautions
Handle add-on module, motherboard by their retention screws or the module’s
frame/ heat sink. Avoid touching the PCB circuit board or add-on module
connector pins
Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static
electricity when installing or maintaining the system
Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl and styrofoam in your work area.
