2. Installing the SMT310Q
2.1
Software installation
You should install the SMT6300 software package before plugging the
hardware into your PC. The SMT6300 sets up device drivers and test utilities for
the Sundance range of carrier boards.
2.2
Hardware installation
1. Plug your TIMs into the SMT310Q slots. You should normally always
have a TIM in the Master TIM site (nearest the board’s end plate). Note
that many TIMs require a 3.3V supply. This is taken from the mounting
pillars, so it is important you bolt down the modules securely.
2. Power-down the PC;
3. Insert the SMT310Q into a spare PCI slot;
4. Power-up your PC. If you are using
1 Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the
hardware wizard should appear (Figure 1);
5. Click “Next >”. The wizard should indicate that the SMT310Q has been
installed successfully (Figure 2);
6. Click “Finish”.
2.3
Testing the hardware
The SMT6300 comes with a utility called SmtBoardInfo.exe. You should start
this and run its confidence test, found under “Tools”.
1 Windows NT users: No hardware wizard will appear, but you should ensure there are no resource
conflicts. See Checking for hardware resource conflicts
