# System requirements

To install and use CG 6565C boards, your system must have:

- NaturalAccess installed.

- A CompactPCI chassis with an H.110-compliant backplane and an available CompactPCI bus slot.

Note: The CG 6565C board can power up and function only in a chassis with an H.110-compliant backplane.

Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for increased system reliability. The UPS does not need to power the PC video monitor except in areas prone to severe lightning storms.

Caution: | The CG 6565C board is shipped in a protective anti-static container. Leave the board in its container until you are ready to install it. Handle the board carefully and hold it only by its handles. Wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a good earth ground whenever you handle the board.
