Chapter-1: Installation
Even though we believe the Omnia-3 is the easiest processor to install in its class, please take a few minutes to
read through this chapter before proceeding with the installation.
Pre-Installation Tasks
This section offers common procedures for installing any version Omnia-3 processor. Additional model-
specific information is given in the chapters on specific versions (Omnia-3fm Turbo in Chapter 4, Omnia-3am
in Chapter 5 and Omnia-3net/drm in Chapter 6).
Omnia-3 Components
By now, you’ve unpacked the shipping carton to at least gain access to this manual. Be sure to inspect the
Omnia-3 and shipping carton for any shipping damage, which must be reported to your carrier for any claims.
The Omnia-3 shipping box includes the following components:
•
Omnia-3 processor (containing the DSP hardware)
•
Omnia-3 PCMCIA card (holding the DSP software)
•
Omnia-3 Operating Manual
•
Warranty Registration Card (fill it out and fax it or return it)
•
IEC Power Cord
PC Card and Optional Modem Installation
Before installing your Omnia-3, or even plugging in the power cord, make sure the Omnia-3 PC Memory Card
and optional Modem Card (if ordered) are installed into the correct card slots on the back panel and are fully
seated. Installation or removal of cards must be done with the power off unless directed otherwise.
The PC Memory Card is inserted into the top card slot with the larger Omnia label facing up, and the version
sticker facing down. The optional Modem Card is inserted into the bottom card slot below the Omnia PC Card.
Both the PC Card and the Modem Card are keyed to prevent improper insertion. DO NOT FORCE! Gently
press the cards into the slots until the black release button, to the right of the card, pops out about 1/2" [12.70
mm]. This indicates the card is properly seated in the PCMCIA slot.
