2. GETTING STARTED
This chapter summarizes features of the ZT 8952 and ZT 8953. Since most features of
the two boards are identical, the term ZT 8952 is used for simplicity. Where features
differ, the specific product number is used. Read this chapter and Chapter 3,

Operational Overview
", before you use the board.
UNPACKING
Be sure to 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
original shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. Save the anti-
static bag for storing or returning the ZT 8952.
Do not return any product to Ziatech without a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
Number. Appendix D, "
Customer Support
", explains the procedure for obtaining an
RMA number from Ziatech.
Caution:
Like all equipment utilizing MOS devices, the ZT 8952 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 8952 to handle the board.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The ZT 8952 is designed for use in an STD bus application. The board is therefore
mechanically and electrically compatible with the STD 32 bus specifications.
Physical Requirements
ZT 8952 requires between one and three slots depending upon the size drive mounted
on the board. ZT 8953 requires between two and four slots depending upon the drive
used. See Appendix B, "
Specifications
", for specific drive requirements.
Power Requirements
Power required by the ZT 8952 and ZT 8953 is dependent upon the type of drive
interfaced to, since power for the drive is supplied by the controller board.
•
The base board without drive requires 320 mA typical, 470 mA maximum at +5 V
•
ZT 8952 with drive (for example, ZT 8952-40) requires only +5 V
