3. Installation
3.1 Hardware Installation
The CP331 board can be installed in any CompactPCI compatible computer with a free
slot (bus master or non bus master). The frontpanel of the board should be safely
secured by screws to the chassis to avoid lossening of the board through vibration and
to ensure correct earth connection.
3.1.1
Supported Monitors
The board can drive regular CRT monitors using the 15-pin VGA connector on the front-
panel. Flat-panels are usually addressed by the CP331 either via LVDS or PanelLink,
which become a necessary requirement if the flat-panel is located at a distance greater
than 60 cm from the CP331 board.
Caution!
If your board type is not specifically qualified as hot-swap capable,
please switch off the CompactPCI system before installing the
board in a free CompactPCI slot. Failure to do so could endanger
your life/health and may damage your board or system.
ESD Equipment!
Your CompactPCI board contains electrostatically sensitive
devices. Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid dam-
age to your board:
•
Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools
must be discharged before use.
•
Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
•
If working at an anti-static workbench with professional dis-
charging equipment, please do not omit to use it.
