PCI302 - Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual
12
IMPORTANT
The W6 Dip_Switch (NVRAM battery) is set in factory to OFF, in order to avoid energy loss while
the card is kept in stock in the Smar’s installations or Customer’s installations. The W6
DIP_Switch must be turned ON before using the PCI302 V1.2
Hardware Installation
PCI302 V2.0
First, install the SYSTEM302 with the PCI302 V2.0 option, then, connect the PCI302 V2.0 to the
computer. Thus, all of the Windows installation procedures will be performed automatically.
If the SYSTEM302 is not installed and a PCI302 V2.0 is connected to the PC, the Windows program
will request a device driver for the PCI302 V2.0. In this case, insert the SYSTEM302 installation CD
and instruct the Windows’ Hardware installation program to install the device driver through the
CD_ROM.
PCI302 V2.0 can be easily installed in the PCI bus (specification v2.1) (*) of every commercial or
industrial PC. Refer to the computer manual for instructions on how to install and remove PCI cards.
Turn off the PC before inserting or removing the PCI302s from the bus. There is a limit of up to 8
PCI302 cards in the PC bus.
NOTES
For appropriate refrigeration to the PCI302 cards keep the PC cabinet closed while it is ON.
The PCI302 V2.0 is not compatible with PCI302 V1.xx. The two types of cards can be physically
installed on the same computer but just one will work with the SYSTEM 302.
PCI302 V1.xx
After the hardware configuration, turn on your PC again and check the functionality of all the
hardwares installed in your PC to detect possible conflicts after the installation of the PCI302. If
there is any abnormal operation, start again with the installation procedures.
After the hardware configuration have been done, the PCI302 v1.xx can be installed in the ISA bus
(16 bits slots) or EISA of every commercial or industrial PC. Refer to the computer manual for
instructions on how to install and remove ISA cards. Turn off the PC before inserting or removing
the PCI302s from the bus. There is a limit of up to 8 PCI302 cards in the PC bus.
NOTES
For appropriate refrigeration to the PCI302 cards. Keep the PC cabinet closed while it is ON.
The PCI302 V1.0 is not compatible with PCI302 V1.2. In case it is necessary to install the PCI302
V1.0 and V1.2 in the same PC, please contact Smar Technical Support and make a request to
exchange the PCI302 V1.0 for PCI302 V1.2.
PCI302 V1.1 is fully compatible with PCI302 V1.2.
Software Installation
During the SYSTEM302 installation process, a dialog box will appear requesting the type of PCI302
to be used (versions between 1.x and 2.0) or not to use a PCI302.
The option chosen by the user can be changed later by using the Interface Setup (ItfSetup) program
of the SYSTEM302.
Please refer to the System 302 documentation for more details.
