system.
Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy 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 a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to minimize
down-time

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.
Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before
installation

2.2.1 3-pin Terminal Block for DC Input (Optional Ignition Input)
The system accepts a wide range of DC power input from 8 to 35V via a 3-pin
pluggable terminal block, which is fit for field usage where DC power is usually
provided. The screw clamping mechanism on the terminal block offers connection
reliability when wiring DC power.
In addition to DC power input, this terminal block can also accept ignition signal input
(IGN) when you have MezIOTM module with IGN function installed.
WARNING
Please make sure the voltage of DC power is correct before you connect it to the
system. Supplying a voltage over 35V will damage the system.
