Hardware, Installation and Configuration

Installation
1
Normally, installation and configuration of the card is done by Concurrent Computer
Corporation. This information is provided for those cases where an RCIM is added to a
system in a post-manufacturing environment.
In order to successfully install the RCIM, you must know if you will be using the RCIM to
accept or deliver external interrupts and the mode in which the RCIM will run (isolated,
master, pass-through slave or final slave). Refer to the section “Connection Modes” above
for details.
CAUTION
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry as static discharge can
damage circuits.
Concurrent Computer Corporation strongly recommends that you
use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when
installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components such as
disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules can be
extremely sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). After
removing the board from the system or its protective wrapper,
place it flat on a grounded, static-free surface, component side up.
Do not slide the board over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting
from ESD by wearing an antistatic strap (available at electronic
stores) that is attached to an unpainted metal part of the system
chassis.
Use the following procedure to install an RCIM in your system:
1. Ensure that your system is powered down.
2. Remove the power cable from the system.
3. Open the case of your system and identify the PCIe slot (RCIM III) or PCI
slot (RCIM II or RCIM I) where you want the RCIM to reside. In general,
it is best for the RCIM to be configured in a slot where minimal or no
contention with other devices occurs and at the highest IRQ priority
possible. Refer to the
iHawk Optimization Guide
, publication number
0898011, for slot configuration guidelines.
4. Install the RCIM into the desired slot, securing the card in the slot using the
mechanism provided by the case.
5. If this is to be part of an RCIM chain, attach the cable as required. See the
section “Connection Modes” to determine how to connect the cable based
on the connection mode for this system.
6. If you are installing an RCIM board equipped with the optional GPS mod-
ule, attach the GPS antenna lead and mount the antenna. The antenna
should be mounted on the rooftop or in an open area. Refer to the sections
“Connectors and LEDs” and “GPS Antenna” more information about the
antenna.
7. Replace the cover.
8. Attach the power cable to the system.
9. Apply power and boot the system.
