Installation
Introduction
Note: Throughout this document the “
DAG 3.7G ” refers to both the
DAG 3.7GF card and the DAG 3.7GP card.
The DAG 3.7G card can be installed in any free 32-bit or 64-bit Bus
Mastering PCI slot.
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-bus.
The cards make very heavy use of PCI-bus data transfer resources. 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
The DAG device driver must be installed before you install the DAG card
itself.
If you have not already completed this please follow the instructions in
EDM04-01 Linux FreeBSD Software Installation Guide or E DM 04-02
Windows Software Installation Guide as appropriate, which are
included on the CD shipped with the DAG card.
Inserting the
DAG Card
To insert the DAG card in the PC follow the steps described below:
•
Turn power to the computer OFF,
•
Remove the PCI bus slot screw and cover,
•
Insert DAG card into PCI bus slot ensuring that it is firmly seated in the
slot,
•
Check the free end of the card fits securely into the card-end bracket
that supports the weight of the card,
•
Secure the card with the bus slot screw,
•
Turn power to the computer ON.
Connecting
the Interfaces
There are two RJ45 connectors on the DAG 3.7G card, and a RJ11 connector.
The RJ45 connectors, furthest from PCI connector, are the network
monitoring ports. These can be connected directly to Ethernet Hubs, Switches
or Router ports with a standard Ethernet cable. The monitoring ports can also
be connected directly to NIC cards using either ethernet cross-over or
straight-through cables.
The RJ11 socket, near the PCI connector, is for the time synchronization
input. This socket should never be connected to a telephone line.
