HECKLIST
Make sure you have the following items before proceeding with the installation:
• the Compact CHAMP-AV IV board
• standard cPCI chassis or PICMG 2.16 cPCI chassis
• DB9 to DB9 serial cable (not provided), attached to a computer with a terminal emula-
tor program capable of operating at 57,600 baud
• a standard Ethernet cable having RJ-45 connectors
• the CHAMPtools CD
• A Rear Transition Module (RTM) or custom cable for the Compact CHAMP-AV IV is
required in order to access the Ethernet ports and serial ports directly off the back of
the board. CWCEC offers an RTM for the Compact CHAMP-AV IV (CWCEC PN TBD). A
custom RTM may be developed as well. If you design your own RTM, please contact
CWCEC Technical Support first to make sure that your RTM design is compatible with
the Compact CHAMP-AV IV product.

Warning
This card uses components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. It must
be kept in its conductive package until the installation begins. Remove the card
from its protective package only at a grounded workstation while wearing an
approved grounding wrist strap. Avoid touching any metal contacts on the card;
static discharge can damage integrated circuits.
Turn the power off before inserting or removing cards from the cPCI chassis.
Failure to do so could damage the card circuitry or cause personal injury.
