Installation Guidelines

• ESD Protection: Always handle the PCB by its edges. Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static mat when handling the module to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to sensitive components.
• Power Status: Ensure all power to the Mark V rack is disconnected before inserting or removing the module.
• Mounting: Ensure the module is securely seated in the designated slot. If using stand-offs, ensure they are tightened to provide a stable, vibration-resistant connection.
• Wiring: Verify that all field wiring is properly labeled and securely terminated to the board terminals. Ensure that shielded cables are properly grounded at the designated termination points to minimize EMI interference.
• Environment: Maintain the cabinet environment within the specified 0 to 60 deg C range to ensure long-term component reliability.

FAQ
