Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the Ovation rack chassis is properly grounded before installing the module.
• Power down the rack or relevant I/O segment before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical arcing or component damage.
• Handle the module using ESD-safe practices to prevent damage to internal circuitry.
• Ensure the module is fully seated in the backplane connector before securing any locking mechanisms.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the module to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation, as the unit relies on conductive cooling paths.
• Route signal cables away from high-voltage lines or high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity.
