GigMAC PMC and PCI Board and Driver Users Manual
8.1 INSTALLATION IN PC COMPUTER
There are many different styles and types of PC platforms that utilize PCI slots.
This section contains a generic installation procedure. Please refer to your User's
manual for more detailed instructions on installing the adapter in a PC.
The GigMAC PMC card requires a PMC-to-PCI Carrier adapter module in order
to be used in a standard PCI system. Please refer to section 2.2 below for
instructions on installing the GigMAC PMC adapter onto a mainboard carrier
adapter.
Step 1 - Shut down the power to the computer system and remove the power
cord and any peripheral cables.
Step 2 - Open the computer case. This will expose the interior of the case and
allow the adapter card to be installed. Consult your User's Manual for assistance
in opening your computer. The PCI card edge connector contains “key” notches
that correspond to dividers in the motherboard slot. It is very important to align
the key notches with the matching dividers in the slot. Failure to align the notches
correctly could cause the card or slot to be damaged.
Step 3 - Align the GigMac PCI edge connector and the system motherboard
socket as indicated in the diagram above. Once aligned, push down firmly on the
PCI card until it is completely seated in the slot. Once the GigMac adapter has
been successfully installed, close the PC case, re-attach the power cable and
any other cables that were removed for the hardware installation procedure.
Consult Section 2.3 for information on connecting the adapter to the network.
8.2 EMBEDDED OR COMPACT PCI INSTALLATION
There are many different styles and types of Embedded System platforms that
utilize PMC Mezzanine slots. This section contains a generic installation
procedure. Please refer to your User's manual for more detailed instructions on
installing the adapter in an Embedded or CompactPCI system.
Step 1 - Shut down the power to the computer system and remove the power
cord and any peripheral cables.
Step 2 – Remove the CompactPCI or Embedded Mainboard controller from the
system, if necessary to access the PMC slot. This will allow the PMC adapter
card to be more easily installed. Consult your User's Manual for assistance in
opening and removing the mainboard. The PMC card has 3 connectors labeled
JN1, JN2 and JN3. JN1 and JN2 are required for all modes of operation while
JN3 is required only for 64-bit mode. Your CompactPCI mainboard or other PMC
carrier will also contain PMC card connectors labeled JN1 and JN2, and
