Chapter 2 – Module Installation
The DM5816 is easy to install in your cpuModule™ or other PC/104 based system. This
chapter tells you step-by-step how to install and connect the module.
After you have installed the module and made all of your connections, you can turn
your system on and run the 5816DIAG board diagnostics program included on your
example software disk to verify that your module is working.
Module Installation
Keep the module in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in your cpuModule™ or other
PC/104 based system. When removing it from the bag, hold the module at the edges and do not touch
the components or connectors.
Before installing the module in your system, check the jumper and switch settings. Chapter 1 reviews
the factory settings and how to change them. If you need to change any settings, refer to the
appropriate instructions in Chapter 1. Note that incompatible jumper settings can result in unpredictable
module operation and erratic response.
The DM5816 comes with a stack-through P1 connector. The stack-through connector lets you stack
another module on top of your DM5816.
To install the module, follow the procedures described in the computer manual and the steps below:
1. Turn OFF the power to your system.
2. Touch a metal rack to discharge any static buildup and then remove the module from its
antistatic bag.
3. Select the appropriate standoffs for your application to secure the module when you install
it in your system (two sizes are included with the module).
4. Holding the module by its edges, orient it so that the P1 bus connector’s pin 1 lines up with pin
1 of the expansion connector onto which you are installing the module.
5. After carefully positioning the module so that the pins are lined up and resting on the expansion
connector, gently and evenly press down on the module until it is secured on the connector.
NOTE: Do not force the module onto the connector. If the module does not readily press into
place, remove it and try again. Wiggling the module or exerting too much pressure can result
in damage to the DM5816 or to the mating module.
6. After the module is installed, connect the cables as needed to I/O connector P2, P3, and P6 on
the module. When making these connections, note that there is no keying to guide you in
orientation. You must make sure that pin 1 of the cable is connected to pin 1 of the connector
(pin 1 is marked on the module with a small square). For twisted pair cables, pin 1 is the dark
brown wire; for standard single wire cables, pin 1 is the red wire.
7. Make sure all connections are secure.
