SECTION 2.0
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
2.1 Board Configuration
This product has no field-alterable configuration features, and is completely configured at
the factory for field use.
2.2 Installation
2.2.1 Physical Installation
To minimize the opportunity for accidental damage before installation, the board should be
stored in the original protective shipping envelope. System power must be turned OFF
before proceeding with the installation.
CAUTION:
This product is susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Before removing the board from the conductive shipping envelope, ensure
that the work surface, the installer and the host system are adequately
discharged to ground.
Before removing the board from the protective shipping envelope, select an empty PCIe
slot in the host computer and, if a blank panel bracket is located in the slot position, remove
the bracket. Then remove the board from the shipping envelope and position the board
with the panel bracket oriented toward the expansion panel opening. Align the board's
PCIe edge-connector with the mating connector on the motherboard, and carefully press
the board into position. Verify that the PCIe connector has mated completely, and that the
panel bracket is seated against the fastener bracket above the panel opening. To
complete the installation, secure the panel bracket with an appropriate machine or panhead
screw; do not overtighten.
2.2.2 Input/Output Cable Connections
System cable signal pin assignments are listed in Table 2.2.2. Unused input pins may be
left disconnected in most applications. However, if very long cables are used or if
excessive cable noise is anticipated, the unused analog inputs should be grounded to the
input return to minimize the injection of noise into the board.
The system I/O connector is designed to mate with a 100-pin dual-ribbon connector,
equivalent to AMP
#749621-9. This insulation displacement (IDC) cable connector
accepts two 50-wire 0.050-inch ribbon cables, with the pin numbering convention shown in
Table 2.2.2 and in Figure 2.2.2.
