2 GETTING STARTED
2.1 Installation Procedure
Before performing any set up or placement procedures, take the precautions outlined in
this section.

Be sure to take appropriate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Disconnect the
power source before moving, cabling, or performing any set up procedures.
!
Warning
Inappropriate handling may cause damage to the board.
Setup and Installation Instructions
Follow these guidelines for safety and maximum product performance:
✔
Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling
Setup Tools
Depending on placement and cabling, you may need the following tools:
✔
Small flat-blade screwdriver
✔
Small Phillips screwdriver
Setup Procedure
After locating, setting up, grounding, and cabling the
TS-7250
:
✔
Apply power
✔
Monitor the
TS-7250
using a terminal emulator to verify that the board is operating
properly
Note
Your board might include a screw power connector on the power input. Notice this
connector is removible. Please pull this connectior off before applying power.
Disconnecting AC Power
✔
Unplug from the power source.
✔
Disconnect other cables as required.
2.2 Console and Power Up
The TS-72XX SBC's have no video controller or keyboard interface. This was done to
keep the board size small and the cost low. COM1 is typically used as a console port to
interface the TS-72XX to a standard terminal emulation program on a Host PC.
An ANSI terminal or a PC running a terminal emulator is required to communicate with
your Embedded
PC.
Simply connect an ANSI terminal (or emulator) to COM1 (DB9
female connector) using a null modem cable (this is included in the TS-ARM Development
Kit), using serial parameters of 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control, 1 stop
bit, and make sure jumper
JP2
is installed.
If you are running
Linux, the minicom program
works well, Windows users can run the Hyperterm application. Technologic Systems
offers a null modem cable with both 25 pin and 9 pin connectors at each end as part
number CB7-05. Some systems also require the 10-pin header to 9-pin Sub-D adapter
