Operating Instructions
9902-UDX-FS Function Menu List and Descriptions
Provides a global card operating status and allows a
log download for factory engineering support. Also
provides controls for selecting and loading card
firmware upgrade files.
Networking controls provide dedicated card networking
setup in conjunction with rear module Ethernet port.
• Log Status and Download Controls
Admin
• Log Status indicates overall card internal operating status.
• Download Log File allows a card operational log file to be saved to
a host computer. This log file can be useful in case of a card error or
in the case of an operational error or condition. The file can be
submitted to Cobalt engineering for further analysis.
• Thermal Shutdown enable/disable allows the built-in thermal
failover to be defeated. (Thermal shutdown is enabled by default).
CAUTION
The 9902-UDX-FS FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating
temperature around 85° C core temperature. Operation in severe
conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained usage are within
device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by setting
this control to Disable. However, the disable (override) setting
should be avoided under normal conditions to ensure maximum
card protection.
• Parameter Blast
When enabled, Parameter Blast can reduce the time it takes for the card
to appear and populate in DashBoard (this is especially relevant where
high-latency connections are present). This is facilitated by reducing
some handshakes on initial DashBoard setup where control settings are
static (not being manipulated) while the card is first appearing.
Note: The frame network card is the arbiter of all frame/card
communications and in some cases may not accept full extent of
parameter blast under some conditions.
• Card DashBoard Name Control
Allows card name In DashBoard to be changed as desired. Click return to
engage change.
• Append to Product Name appends (or adds to) existing OEM
name (for example, “9902-UDX-FS Processing 1A”).
• Replace Product Name completely replaces the OEM name OEM
name (for example, “Processing 1A”).
Note: DashBoard instance(s) may have to be refreshed before
name change appears.
