Installing a Daughter Board
To install a daughter board, follow the instructions outlined below:
•
Turn off the power to the computer and peripherals, and
disconnect all power cords and cables.
•
Remove the computer cover and select a slot for the daughter
board, adjacent to the slot occupied by the FDDI adapter. We
recommend the slot immediately to the left of the FDDI
adapter as viewed from the rear (bracket) of the adapter.
•
If you have not done so, remove the daughter board from its
protective pouch, and visually inspect it.
•
Refer to the installation procedures for NuBus adapters in the
hardware manual for your Macintosh. Install the daughter
board as you would the FDDI adapter, in a slot adjacent to the
FDDI adapter.
•
Connect the daughter board to the FDDI adapter. Plug the
interconnecting ribbon cables into the FDDI adapter and
daughter board connectors . Observe the polarized keying of
the cable and connectors.
•
Replace the computer cover, reconnect all cables and power up
the computer.
•
Connect the FDDI cables to adapter and daughter board
according to the FDDI ring configuration. Consult the ANSI
X3T9.5 specification for a description of Dual Attach Station
FDDI ring topology.
•
After connecting the adapter and daughter board to the FDDI
ring, observe the LANVIEW LEDs (see Section 2.5) to
determine the status of the adapter and the FDDI ring.
