Installation
Installation of the RVON-16 Card into the ADAM System
CAUTION: The RVON-16 front card works with either an RVON-16 backcard or an RVON-8 backcard. However, if the
RVON-16 is used with an RVON-8 backcard, the second of the two RS-232 ports on the RVON-16 is
unavailable. Similarly, an RVON-8 card works with an RVON-16 backcard, but the second RS-232 port is
unavailable. The second serial port is only available when an RVON-16 front card is used with an RVON-16
backcard.
The following firmware versions are the minimum required for RVON-16 support:
• MC V9.28.0
• MCII-e V1.6.0
• DBX V1.19.0 (w/PC V10.19.0 or w/PCII-e V1.19.0)
When inserting the RVON-16 in the ADAM system, the following considerations need to be made:
•
Gently insert the RVON-16 into the correct slot. If the card is forced or twisted while inserting, a pin on the
backplane could short or break causing the card to become inoperable.
• When inserting the RVON-16 into the ADAM system, make sure to insert it into a compatible backcard. If
the card is inserted into an incompatible backcard, undesirable results can occur.
•
DO NOT FORCE MATING CARDS
