Applications Guide

Interfacing

Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate

to contact the factory if you need more assistance.

Installation

The PMC2PCI is mounted to the host card prior to installation within the

chassis. For best results: with the host bracket installed, install the PMC

at an angle so that the PMC2PCI front panel bezel penetrates the host

bracket then rotate down to mate with the PMC [PnX] connectors.

There are four mounting locations. Two screws into the PMC mounting

bezel and two for the standoffs near the PMC bus connectors. The

PMC2PCI bezel and stand-offs are pre-installed. Screws are supplied to

mount to the host.

Riser

A riser card is available to allow the PCI card to be installed parallel to the

PMC instead of perpendicular. The Riser card will save most of the PCI

card height and potentially reduce the number of slots that are required.

Please check with

for available riser options.

Start-up

Make sure that the "system" can see your hardware before trying to

access it. Many BIOS will display the PCI devices found at boot up on a

"splash screen" with the VendorID and CardId for the PCI card installed

and an interrupt level. Look quickly! If the information is not available from

the BIOS then a third party PCI device cataloging tool will be helpful. For

Windows® based systems "PCIView" is recommended.

Watch the system grounds. All electrically connected equipment should

have a fail-safe common ground that is large enough to handle all current

loads without affecting noise immunity. Power supplies and power

consuming loads should all have their own ground wires back to a common

point.

Power all system power supplies from one switch. Connecting external

voltage to the PCI card installed when it is not powered can damage it, as

well as the rest of the host system. This problem may be avoided by turning

all power supplies on and off at the same time. This applies more to the
