Installing the Intellio C320Turbo/PCIEL Control
Board
Step 1: Power off the PC.
WARNING
Make sure the system is powered off before installing the PCI Express board to avoid damage.
Step 2: Remove the PC cover
Step 3: Remove the slot cover bracket
Step 4: Gently press the C32010T/PCIEL firmly into a free PCI Express x1 slot
Step 5: Fasten the holding screws to secure the Control Board
☞
Now the installation of the Control Board is complete. Continue to install the external modules.
WARNING
The PCI express slot supplies only 3.3VDC and 5VDC and is not enough to power the C320T/PCIEL module.
Users can use the power connector on the C320T/PCIEL to connect directly to the power supply. If the host
device does not have an IDE power cable, please use the C32050T power adapter for external power supply.
WARNING
If using the C32065T as an external module, the C32050T power adapter needs to be used to supply external
power.
Installing the External Modules
There are two connection options for the installation of external modules: CPU and UART Modules for Desktop,
and Basic/Extensive Modules for rackmount.
Normally, a standard 2-meter 15-pin DB25 to DB25 cable links the Control Board to the external module.
However, to extend the distance between Control Board and external module to over 2 m (up to 100 m) to
improve power insufficiency problem of the PC host, external power for the CPU/Basic Modules along
with a cable specially fabricated with only 10 signal pins should be used as illustrated in the next two
subsections and in chapter 5 as well. Otherwise, power degradation will cause system failure.
