Safety Notes
This section provides warnings that precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout
this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this equipment. You should also employ all other safety
precautions necessary for the operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
SMART EC intends to provide all necessary information to install and handle the product in
this manual. Because of the complexity of this product and its various uses, we do not
guarantee that the given information is complete. If you need additional information, ask
your SMART EC representative.
The product has been designed to meet the standard industrial safety requirements. It must
not be used except in its specific area of office telecommunication industry and industrial
control.
Only personnel trained by SMART EC or persons qualified in electronics or electrical
engineering are authorized to install, remove or maintain the product.
The information given in this manual is meant to complete the knowledge of a specialist and
must not be used as replacement for qualified personnel.
Keep away from live circuits inside the equipment. Operating personnel must not remove
equipment covers. Only factory authorized service personnel or other qualified service
personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component
replacement or any internal adjustment.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment or
the warranty may be voided. Contact your local SMART EC representative for service and
repair to make sure that all safety features are maintained.
EMC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SMART Embedded Computing could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Board products are tested in a

Safety Notes
representative system to show compliance with the above mentioned requirements. A
proper installation in a compliant system will maintain the required performance. Use only
shielded cables when connecting peripherals to assure that appropriate radio frequency
emissions compliance is maintained.
Operation
Product Damage - Surface of the Product
High humidity and condensation on the product surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the product outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the
product is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
Overheating and Product Damage
Operating the product without forced air cooling may lead to overheating and thus damage
of the product.
When operating the product, make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf.
Data Corruption
If power to the blade is removed while the BIOS is still updating changes to the flash, the
changes will not be saved, and worse, the flash may be corrupted.
Whenever you select the Exit Saving Changes option to save changes to BIOS setup and
exit, do not power the blade down before BIOS reboots.
Product Damage or Loss of Regulatory Compliance
The serial port is meant for development/debug/craft purpose only.
The serial cable is not meant to be connected during normal field operation. The
PrAMC-7311 has not been qualified for regulatory compliance with the serial cable
connected.
System Malfunction
Incorrect BIOS settings can cause the system to malfunction.
To rectify mistakes use <F2> on the keyboard to return to setup and restore the system
defaults by pressing <F9>. Alternatively you can press <F2> to return to the BIOS setup
and go to the Exit menu and select Load setup Defaults.
