LAN35MH08HR & LAN35ME08HR User’s Manual
3.4
Steps for Installing
1.
Always work at an ESD protected workstation, and wear a grounded wrist-strap.
2.
Turn off power to the PC/104 system or stack.
3.
Select and install stand-offs to properly secure the module in the stack.
4.
Remove the module from its anti-static bag.
5.
Check that pins of the bus connector are properly positioned.
6.
Check the stacking order; make sure all of the busses used by the peripheral cards are connected to the cpuModule.
7.
If multiple StackNET boards are to be installed in the system, review the guidelines on StackNET in the previous sections.
a.
The Host Ethernet switch (LAN35MH08HR) should be the lowest StackNET board. Regular boards may be stacked beneath it.
b.
The Expansion modules (LAN35ME08HR or similar) should be stacked above the Host. Due to mechanical interference
concerns with the downward StackNET connector, one should avoid stacking regular boards under a StackNET expansion
module.
8.
Hold the module by its edges and orient it so the bus connector pins line up with the matching connector on the stack.
9.
Gently and evenly press the module onto the PC/104 stack.
10.
If any boards are to be stacked above this module, install them along with the necessary stand-offs.
11.
If no boards are to be stacked above this module, be sure to use screws to secure the board to the stand-offs.
12.
Attach any necessary cables to the PC/104 stack.
13.
Re-connect the power cord and apply power to the stack.
14.
Boot the system and verify that all of the hardware is working properly.
15.
If this is a LAN35MH08HR paired with a cpuModule:
a.
Verify the onboard Intel I210 is detected by the cpuModule.
b.
Load the I210 drivers for your Operating System and configure the network interface (see section 4.3 for details).
16.
Connect to the USB Serial Console and configure VSC7428.
a.
Refer to section 4.5 for details on the serial port connection.
b.
Configure the CEServices software via the ICLI (see the software configuration information later in this document for details).
