Safety Notices
Safety Summary
Observe the following general safety precautions during operation of this equipment. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific Warnings and/or Cautions elsewhere in this manual violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Radstone Limited trading as
Radstone Digital Processing assumes no liability for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Radstone is aware.
Take note of these warnings and take all other safety precautions necessary for the safe operation of the
equipment in your operating environment.
Ground the Equipment
To minimize shock hazard, connect the equipment chassis and rack/enclosure to an electrical ground. If
AC power is supplied to the rack/enclosure, the power jack and mating plug of the power cable must
meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Power Supplies
! WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum rated input voltages or apply reversed bias to the assembly.
If such conditions occur, toxic fumes may be produced due to the destruction of components.
Power supply problems must only be dealt with by qualified personnel.
Backplane Requirements
" CAUTION
For optimum performance, PowerPact6 processors have been designed for use with 64-bit
CompactPCI backplanes. They may also be used with 32-bit backplanes, but with a
corresponding performance loss.
Flammability
All Radstone circuit boards are manufactured by UL-recognized/approved manufacturers and have a
flammability rating of 94V-0.
EMI/EMC Regulatory Compliance
" CAUTION
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate electromagnetic energy. It may cause or be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not installed and used in a cabinet with
adequate EMI protection.
Radstone boards are designed using good EMC practices and, when used in a suitably EMC-compliant
chassis, should maintain the compliance of the total system.
Radstone boards also comply with EN60950 (product safety), which is essentially the requirement for the
Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC).
Air-cooled PowerPact6 processors are designed for use in systems meeting VDE class B, EN and FCC
regulations for EMC emissions and susceptibility.
Conduction-cooled PowerPact6 processors are designed for integration into EMC hardened
cabinets/boxes.
