A.4 General Information
The ICP Controller should be installed by an authorized ICP vortex distributor. Precondition
for the safe installation is an anti-static work place (earthed mat on the table with wrist
bands connected to an earth). ICP vortex does not take any responsibility for damage aris-
ing out of improper installation. This manual contains all the information available at the
time it was written. Errors and/or incomplete information are possible. We are grateful for
any ideas or suggestions for improvement. Additional information may be found in the in-
formation file
"README.TXT" on the enclosed ICP CDROM. Besides up-to-date informa-
tion, this file also contains a list of all programs on the CDROM.
The contents of the file README.TXT must be read before the ICP Controller is used
for the first time. Output is possible on printer or screen.
This User's Manual explains the installation and the operation of the ICP Controller. For
information on the use of the computer system and its operating system, please refer to the
corresponding system manuals.
A.4.1 Unpacking the ICP Controller
Open the show box and take out the ICP Controller (leaving it in its anti-static bag), the
CDROM and this manual.
WARNING: Never take the GDT PCB (Printed Circuit Board) out of the anti-static bag
unless this is done at an anti-static work place, and the person handling the ICP Con-
troller is secured with wrist bands against electrostatic charge. If these instructions
are not observed, the CMOS components on the ICP Controller may be damaged or
destroyed.
Store the show box in a safe and dry place.
A.4.2 Delivery Contents
The following items are delivered with the ICP Controller:
1. ICP Controller in a sealed anti-static bag without RAM (minimum 16MB required)
2. Sealed CDROM with driver and installation software.
3. This User's Manual.
A.4.3 Contents of the ICP CDROM
A list of the files and programs delivered with the ICP Controller can be found in the file
README.TXT on the enclosed CDROM. The contents of this file can be viewed on screen
or output on your printer. Besides these files and programs there are also disk images of all
ICP driver floppy disks, which can be used with a special image-writing program to create a
full set of disks. This can be helpful if you require for example a BTLD floppy disk for the
installation of the ICP Controller under SCO UNIX.
