GigMAC PMC and PCI

Assess system power requirements. If you already have other PCI cards in

your Mac, make sure that your system is able to provide the necessary power to

support the addition of the GigMac adapter card. Check your computer's user

manual for power limitations.

2.1 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.

2.2 INSTALLATION IN AN EMBEDDED OR COMPACTPCI

SYSTEM

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.
