2. Safety
2.1 Safety
Turn o to the server computer and disconnect the mains power
before installing or removing PCI boards or otherwise opening the server
chassis.
WARNING!
Never open the IFDR10 unit. Thermal conductive material does
not bind properly when unit is reassembled. Opening IFDR10 voids all
warranties.
WARNING!
Follow local regulations in the installation and usage of the device.CAUTION!
The surface may be hot.
Install IFDR in a suitable enclosure where it is protected from dust
and humidity. Ensure the sucient airflow.
CAUTION!
Use ESD protection. See ESD protection (page 8).CAUTION!
Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the
product or lead to malfunction.
CAUTION!

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
The product includes SFP+ optical transceivers. They are Class 1 Laser Products
and comply with US FDA regulations. These products are certified by TÜV and
CSA to meet the Class 1 eye safety requirements of EN (IEC) 60825 and the
electrical safety requirements of EN (IEC) 60950.
The laser rays are invisible to the human eye.
Even though the optical transceivers are eye-safe, do not look directly into the
laser source.
2.1.1 ESD protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately
protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the
equipment housing.
To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:
• Handle ESD‑sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench
or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive
connection cord.
• If you are unable to take either precaution, touch a conductive part of the equipment
chassis with your other hand before touching ESD‑sensitive components.
• Hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching component contacts.

3. Hardware description
3.1 Hardware system overview
The major modules supplied with RVP10 are:
• IFDR10 Intermediate Frequency Digital Receiver (IFDR), which is typically mounted inside
the radar receiver.
• RVP10SRV server main chassis, which is typically mounted in a 19" EIA rack (radar
cabinet).
RVP10 hardware installation includes mechanical installation and siting, electrical
specifications of the interface signals, system-level considerations, and the standard connector
panel.
Much of the RVP10 I/O is configured through software. Since there is no custom wiring,
internal jumpers, or oscillators, it is easy to insert spare modules.
3.2 IFDR10 hardware
Figure 1 IFDR10
The IFDR10 hardware consists of a printed circuit card assembly contained in a mechanical
housing. The tight metal housing gives the device the maximum noise immunity. The housing
protects the PCB, a heat sink, and an EMI/RFI barrier. The mounting options are designed to be
backwards compatible with RVP901 IFDR. IFDR10 may be mounted flat or upright on either of
its side.

RESTRICTED 9
The dimensions of the module are 246 mm × 136 mm × 52.5 mm (10.6 in × 5.6 in × 2.0 in)
Figure 2 IFDR10 components
3.2.1 Hardware security
IFDR10 has been hardened against unprivileged access and execution of malicious software in
the device. Firmware integrity is verified in all stages of code execution by checking the
firmware signatures before execution. This permits only ocial signed firmware by the device
manufacturer to execute.
Any attempt to use modified firmware in the IFDR10 will lead to a signature verification failure,
making the IFDR10 hardware unusable. IFDR10 does not contain any predefined login
credentials or passwords, which prevents any unauthorized access into the embedded Linux
operating system running the device. The only access into the IFDR10 settings and
configuration are via the interfaces Vaisala provides.
