Configuring the Hardware

Board Identification

The DM3 device driver, part of the system software, assigns board instance numbers in ascending order (beginning with 0) as it detects each board in your system. A board instance number is the identification (ID) number used by the system software to recognize the board.

NOTE: If you add or remove a board, the system may change the existing board instance (ID) numbers.

Windows System

After the hardware and the system software are installed, refer to the Dialogic® Configuration Manager (DCM) configuration utility to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

See the DCM online help for details about board identification.

Linux System

In a Linux system, you must set SW1 to a unique number for each DM3 board in your system. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to 1 of 16 board settings, 0-9 or A-F.

After the hardware and system software are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

For more information about Linux configuration files, see the Dialogic® Configuration Guide supplied with your system release.

Installing the Hardware

NOTE: Dialogic recommends that you install the hardware before the system software. However, if you are adding a DM3 board to an existing DM3 system, you do not need to uninstall existing DM3 software.

1.With your computer on the static-safe work area, switch off the power and disconnect all power cords from the electrical outlets.

2.Remove the chassis cover plate.

3.Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if applicable).

4.If you are not installing your board in an ISA form factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer from the board.

5.Using the slot’s board guides, insert the edge connector of the board into the bus slot. Press firmly until the board is securely seated in the slot.
