Interfacing

Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate to contact the

factory if you need more assistance.

Installation

The XMC is mounted to the PCIe8LXMCX1 prior to installation within the chassis. For

best results: with the PCIe bracket installed, install the XMC at an angle so that the

XMC front panel bezel penetrates the PCIe bracket then rotate down to mate with the

XMC [PnX] connectors.

There are four mounting locations per XMC. Two into the XMC mounting bezel, and

two for the standoffs near the XMC bus connectors.

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 XMC installed and an interrupt level. If the information is

not available from the BIOS then a third party PCI device cataloging tool will be helpful

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 PCIe8LXMCX1 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 XMC's installed onto the PCIe8LXMCX1 than the

PCIe8LXMCX1 itself, and it is smart system design when it can be achieved.
