Initial Inspection
Before using the switch system, make sure that the following parts are included in the package:
•
BIT-3000A or BIT-3000B Mainframe
•
One BIT-3001A or BIT-3001B Clock Module, mounted in the Mainframe
•
Up to seven front-end modules, mounted in the Mainframe (according to order)
Setup
The BIT-3000 DSGA can be operated as a desk-top instrument or can be mounted in a standard 19
″
rack. Make sure the specified environmental conditions are met.
Power
Only connect the AC connector at the rear side of the instrument to a power outlet using an
appropriate 3-wire cable! Make sure you use a power outlet with a grounding terminal!
To turn the device on, flip the switch on the front side of the instrument to the position labeled “I”.
The blue LED next to the switch lights up to indicate the power state.
To turn the device off, flip the switch on the front side of the instrument to the position labeled “O”.
Display
The display will light up as soon as the instrument is turned on, and it will display the FPGA firmware
version after a few moments.
As soon as the firmware is ready, the display will change to “BIT-3000”. If a network connection is
available, the IP address will be displayed in the second line. If multiple IP addresses are available,
the display will cycle through the available IPs.
During and after a system upgrade, the display will indicate the progress (see also page 28).
