Model 52791 Getting Started Guide
Step 1: Unpacking and Inspecting the Unit
After unpacking, inspect the unit carefully for possible damage to connectors or com
−
ponents. Refer to page 3 for a list of what should be in the box. If anything is damaged
or missing, contact Pentek immediately at (201) 818
−
5900. Please save the shipping
container and packing material in case reshipment is required.
Step 2: Checking the Switch Settings
At the factory, all DIP switches on the Model 52791 are installed in default positions.
The default parameters selected may or may not meet your requirements.
As described above in Before You Begin: Jumper and Switch Settings, the switches con
−
trol various configuration settings. Before installing Model 52791,
review Sections 2.4,
2.6, and 2.7 in the
Model 52791 Installation Manual
to determine whether you need to
change any settings.
NOTE:
You should only change the switches that are described in the
Model 71791
Operating Manual
and
Model 52791 Installation Manual
−
all others are
reserved for factory test and setup purposes only.
Step 3: Installing the Hardware
Model 52791 includes one Pentek 71791 XMC module mounted on a Pentek Model 5201
VPX carrier. The Model 5201 carrier is designed to operate in VPX systems. This carrier
conforms to the 3U height VPX card format as per VITA 46.0 (VPX Baseline Standard
specification). To install Model 52791, follow the procedure in Section 2.10 (Installing
the Model 52791 in a VPX Card Cage) of the
Pentek Model 52791 Installation Manual
.
NOTE:
Model 52791 requires two VPX slots: one in which to install the Model 52791
assembly and a vacant slot to the right of it, required to accommodate the
JTAG board.
NOTE:
If your Model 52791 has Option 741, you must use a 5HP width (1") VPX slot.
NOTE:
The JTAG PCB on the Model 52791 board (on the Model 71791 XMC module)
is used for downloading new FPGA configuration code. If you do not plan to
use the JTAG PCB, you can remove it before installing Model 52791. If you do
plan to use the JTAG PCB, you should remove it before you deploy the Model
52791 board.
