Hardware Installation
3. Hardware Installation
Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document carefully,
before you start with the hardware installation!
Danger!
Electric shock risk. Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components. To avoid
this, please perform the following steps
before
you touch the CPCI-USB-5, in order
to discharge the static electricity from your body:
Switch off the power of your computer, but leave it connected to the mains until
you have discharged yourself (if applicable).
Please touch the metal case of the computer now to discharge yourself.
Furthermore, you should prevent your clothes from touching the computer,
because your clothes might be electrostatically charged as well.
Procedure:
1.
Switch off your computer and all connected peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.).
2.
Discharge your body as described above.
3.
Disconnect the computer from the mains.
If the computer does not have a flexible mains cable, but is directly connected to mains,
disconnect the power supply via the safety fuse and make sure that the fuse cannot switch
on again unintentionally (i.e. with caution label).
Danger!
Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
4.
Connect the internal USB line (USB port 8) via the 5-pin DUBOX connector (X1010) to the
internal USB port (see figure 1).
The board comes with two 3.2 mm holes for optional fixing the internal USB-cable for strain
relief, e.g. by means of cable ties.
5.
Insert the CPCI-USB-5 into a free CompactPCI Slot in your PC.
6.
Fix the CPCI-USB-5 with the screws on the front panel.
7.
Connect the external USB lines (USB1-USB5) to the USB connectors in the front panel (see
Figure 1). The external USB lines are 'hot-pluggable' and can be connected or disconnected
later.
8.
Connect the computer to mains again (mains connector or safety fuse).
9.
Switch on the computer and the peripheral devices.
10. End of hardware installation.
11. Set the interface properties in your operating system. For further information refer to the
documentation of the operating system.
