INSTALLATION

HARDWARE: The CANPCI can be installed in any PCI computer bus.

With power removed from the computer, remove its cover. Take care when

installing the CANPCI because both it and the exposed computer

motherboard are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To prevent inadvertent

damage, touch the metal chassis of the internal power supply to discharge

yourself then remove the CANPCI from its protective ESD package.

CANbus Termination

If the CANPCI is located at the end of a trunk, line-matching

impedance is required. A 124-ohm resistor is supplied for this purpose

and is invoked by a jumper on header JP6. If the CANPCI is not

located at the end of a trunk,this jumper should be removed.
After termination is arranged, insert the CANPCI into an available PCI

bus slot. Once the CANPCI is mounted, it can be attached to the

CANbus. As illustrated below, the CANPCI-CO is provided with a DB-9

male connector for attaching to the CANbus, whereas he CANPCI-DN

uses an open style male connector with screw terminals. To facilitate use

of the screw terminals, a mating female connector has been provided.
Hardware installation is completed by replacing the computer cover.
