Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system power is completely disconnected before inserting or removing the module from the rack.
• Handle the board by its edges to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive components.
• Verify that the edge connector is properly aligned with the backplane slot before applying pressure to seat the module.
• Ensure all external wiring connected to the terminal blocks is properly secured and routed away from high-voltage or high-EMI noise sources.
• Maintain adequate ventilation within the cabinet to ensure the module operates within its specified temperature range of 0 degC to +60 degC.
