B.5 ICP Controller Installation
Make sure that the ICP Controller is equipped with an appropriate unbuffered SO-
DIMM/DIMM (at least 32MB). It is
not possible to operate the ICP Controller without RAM.
Step 1
Switch off the PCI computer system and remove all cables (first of all the power supply).
Step 2
Following the instructions in the computer manual, open the case of the PCI computer, so
that you have easy access to the PCI expansion slots.
Step 3
Select a free 64 Bit PCI bus-master slot or 32 Bit PCI bus-master slot and remove the
metal bracket, following the instructions in your PCI computer manual. It is essential that
the ICP Controller is plugged into a bus-master slot (it will NOT work in a slave or non-bus-
master slot). Some motherboards have only 1 bus-master slot. Make sure that the selected
slot has a sufficiently cooling airflow. Permanent overheating of electronic devices de-
creases their life time drastically.
If a 64-Bit PCI ICP Controller of the RZ Series is oper-
ated in a 32 Bit PCI bus-master slot, make sure that the unused card-edge connector
of the ICP Controller has no contact with other components in the PCI slot area.
