Installation
If the BIOS produces the message "KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD
PRESENT" at time of power-on or reset, either no keyboard is present, the keyboard
cable is not firmly connected, a key was pressed, or the keyboard is not a PC/AT
compatible keyboard.
If you wish to operate your system without a keyboard, you must start with a
keyboard and invoke the BIOS setup screen to change the
Configuration Errors
field
to "ignore keyboard errors."

Serial Port
The front panel contains one DB-9 serial-port connector. It is identical to the serial
port labeled COM1 in the PC/AT and compatibles. It may be used for connecting a
mouse, modem, serial printer, RS-232 link, etc.
If your EPC-7 contains a conductive plastic ESD shield on the connector, remove it
only when connecting a device. Leaving it on the connector when the connector is
not being used will reduce the possibility of ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage
through the connector.
Parallel Printer Port
The parallel port on the front panel is compatible with the corresponding DB-25
LPT1 connector on IBM PCs and compatibles. Typically it is used to connect
printers and software security keys.
SCSI Port
The SCSI connector is a high-density, 50-pin, standard SCSI-2 connector. The
connector type is "shielded alternative 1" in the SCSI-2 specification. This connector
is an AMP 174726-4 (or equivalent) socket. This SCSI implementation uses the
Adaptec AIC 6360 chip and is therefore compatible with the Adaptec AHA
1520/1522 PC add-in card.
Drivers are available for a range of operating systems and SCSI devices, including
disks, streaming tapes, CD-ROMs, and digital audio tapes. These drivers do not ship
with the product; contact RadiSys for more information.
