2. GETTING STARTED
This chapter summarizes the steps required to get the ZT 6631 running. Read this
chapter in its entirety before you use the board.
UNPACKING
Please check the shipping carton for damage. If the shipping carton and contents are
damaged, notify the carrier and Ziatech for an insurance settlement. Retain the shipping
carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. Save the anti-static bag for
storing or returning the ZT 6631.
Do not return any product to Ziatech without a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
Number. See Appendix D, "
Customer Support
", for an explanation of the procedure for
obtaining an RMA number from Ziatech.
Caution:
Like all equipment utilizing MOS devices, the ZT 6631 must
be protected from static discharge. Never remove any of the socketed
parts except at a static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag shipped
with the ZT 6631 to handle the board.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The ZT 6631 Super VGA CompactPCI™ Board is designed to work with the ZT 6500
Single Board Computer with Pentium
®
processor or other CPUs that adhere to the
CompactPCI specification.
The ZT 6631 re5 VDC ± 5% @ 0.840 A maximum and 0.640 A typical. The
ambient temperature must be maintained between 0º and +65º Celsius to avoid
improper operation and possible damage. The relative humidity should be less than
95%, non-condensing.
The I/O and memory map for the ZT 6631 varies according to the video mode. For the
safest operation, allowing all modes to be used, I/O ports 100h through 104h, 46E8h,
and 3B0h through 3DFh, as well as memory addresses A0000h through BFFFFh,
should be reserved. The C0000h through C7FFFh range should also be reserved for
the video BIOS.
If linear addressing is used, the 16 Mbyte range from 41000000h to 41FFFFFFh should
be reserved (1 Gbyte + 16 Mbyte to 1 Gbyte + 32 Mbyte). For proper operation of the
ZT 6631 in a Ziatech DOS system, be sure to use Ziatech Industrial BIOS Version 4.3
or later.
