Step 3: Install the SBC
Overview
Before you connect any peripheral devices to the EPC-2102, install the SBC onto a passive
backplane in a chassis (
Figure 5 ).
Procedure
Table 4. Installing the SBC
Step Action
1
Power-off the system and disconnect all power cords.
Note:
Use the grounding wrist strap provided with the system to discharge static
electricity.
2 Remove the chassis cover.
3
Detach the circuit card hold-down bracket (if required). This bracket reaches
across the tops of the circuit cards and holds them in place.
4
Locate the “Platform” or “CPU” slot on the passive backplane.
Note:
The SBC will not function to its fullest capabilities if it is not installed in the
proper slot. For example, if installed in an ISA slot, the SBC will operate, but it will
not be able to communicate with 3
rd
party PCI devices.
5
Remove the I/O bracket spacer from the rear of the chassis (if required). This
spacer occupies the area where the SBC’s I/O bracket is accessed from the rear of
the chassis.
6
Insert the SBC into the chassis with the card edge aligned in the card-end slot and
the I/O bracket in the chassis I/O slot. Lower the SBC to the “Platform” or “CPU”
slot on the backplane. Carefully push the SBC connectors into the slot on the
backplane. Ensure that the I/O bracket is accessible through the rear of the
chassis.
7 Secure the I/O bracket to the fastening lip on the chassis.
Note: To install the EPC-2102 onto a passive backplane not manufactured by RadiSys, follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the backplane.
If the SBC is installed into a chassis not manufactured by RadiSys, a custom
cable might be needed to adapt the keyboard header to the wiring in the
chassis. RadiSys does not provide such a cable.
!
The SBC requires a minimum airflow of 200 linear feet per minute (LFM)
unimpeded across the CPU within 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F) ambient
temperature. Operations outside these specifications could void the warranty.
