Chapter 2:
Installation
Introduction A DAG 3.7D card can be installed in any free 3.3V or 5V Bus Mastering
PCI slot. The card should be the only device on the PCI bus if possible as
the cards make very heavy use of PCI bus data transfer resources.
Although the driver supports up to four DAG cards by default in one
system, due to bandwidth limitations there should not be more than one
card on a single PCI-X bus. However, this is not usually a limitation as for
most applications a maximum of two cards only can be used with
reasonable application performance.
DAG Device
Driver
If the DAG device driver is not installed, before proceeding with the next
chapter, install the software by following the instructions in EDM04-01
Endace Software Installation Manual.
Inserting the
Card
Inserting the DAG 3.7D card into a PC involves accessing the PCI-X bus
slot, fitting the card, and replacing bus slot cover. Follow the steps below to
insert the DAG 3.7D card in the computer.
•
Power computer down.
•
Remove PCI bus slot screw and cover
•
Insert DAG 3.7D card into PCI bus slot.
•
Ensure free end fits securely into a card-end bracket that supports the
card weight.
•
Secure the card with the cover screw.
•
Power the computer up
Port
Connectors
There are four metal co-axial SMB connectors on the DAG 3.7D card.
The bottom connector of each pair is used for the transmitted signal, the top
for the received signal.
Note: The transmit ports only require connection if the transmit
feature is supported by the firmware, or if the loopback facility on
the DAG is enabled. For passive monitoring you do not need to
connect the transmit ports.
Packet transmission is not currently supported.
The DAG 3.7D card has an 8-pin RJ45 socket for the time synchronization
input.
WARNING: Do not connect the socket to an Ethernet.
