Handling the EPC-2102
Overview
This section suggests basic precautions when handling the EPC-2102 series SBC.
Static Electricity
The EPC-2102 is designed to protect against ESD (electro-static discharge) and excessive
voltage. However, excessive static electricity can damage components.
Before you handle the SBC, use the grounding wrist strap provided with the system to
discharge static electricity. Instructions for using the wrist strap are printed on the strap's
envelope.
Safety
It is important to protect yourself and your equipment before you perform any of the
procedures outlined in this manual.
You should check the configuration before you install the SBC. If the SBC is already installed
in your system and you need to change the configuration, power-off the system and disconnect
all power cords from their source. Follow all safety precautions as outlined by the chassis
manufacturer.
Next...
Before you install the SBC in a chassis, check the following:
•Jumper settings, outlined in Step 1, page 8
•DIP switch settings, outlined in Step 2, page 10
Pay particular attention to the switch settings. The jumper settings are preconfigured at the
factory and are appropriate for most applications.
Always handle the SBC by the edges to help prevent accidental damage that
can be caused by static discharge (Figure 2).
!
To avoid damage or injury, always power-off the system and disconnect all
power cords from their power source before handling the equipment.
To help prevent accidental damage that can be caused by static discharge,
always use a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device when
accessing the interior of the chassis and handling the equipment.
!
Only qualified, experienced electronics personnel should access the interior
of the chassis and handle the equipment.

Step 1: Check Jumper Settings
Overview
Before you install the EPC-2102 onto a passive backplane in a chassis, check the jumper
settings on the SBC (Figure 3).
Definition
A jumper is a small "bridge" that connects two pins on a jumper block. The position of a
jumper affects the device's operational parameters.
Jumper Blocks
The EPC-2102 contains:
•Four two-pin jumper blocks (JP6, JP8, JP9, and JP10)
•Five three-pin jumper blocks (JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, and JP7)
Settings
