Installation Instructions
Introduction
Digi's two port Universal Interface Card can auto- matically determine, from the cable, the interface bus type to use with the peripheral device. That is, you can select an interface type for the adapter (V.35, X.21,
Figure 1: SYNC/570i and Universal Interface Card
Installing the Adapter
Before you begin
Before installing the SYNC/570i adapter and daugh- ter card, you should do the following:
•Be sure that you have the correct cables for the interface type(s) you will use with the SYNC/ 570i. Depending on the package you ordered, you will have one or two cables.
•Record the adapter’s serial number (located under the part number label as shown in Figure 1), which will enable Digi to provide you with better service, should the need arise.
•Unplug power from the PC.
•Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a grounded surface (prior to handling the adapter).
•Put a ground strap on to ground yourself. (If one is not available, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the computer’s chassis.)
Installation Procedure
1.Install the adapter.
a.Remove the computer’s cover.
b.Locate an available PCI slot in your computer and remove the slot plate.
c.Insert the adapter into the slot and screw the endplate to the computer chassis. The endplate must be screwed into the computer chassis to remain in compliance with Part 15 of FCC rules.
d.Replace the computer’s cover.
2.Connect cables. One end of each cable is labelled with the interface type. Attach that end to the peripheral. Attach the other end to an adapter port. (Additional cabling information is provided on this card.)
3.Boot the computer.
4.Run Digi’s diagnostics program.
The SYNC/570i PCI diagnostics are supplied on a diskette that is shipped with the adapter. You should run the diagnostics to verify that you can communicate with the peripheral devices. Refer to the text file on the diskette for information on using the diagnostics.
Note: The LEDs showing through the faceplate on the adapter will not light until a driver is loaded and the adapter initialized. With the Digi driver loaded, the green LED will light to indicate that the adapter is in a “ready” state. The amber LED will light when data is passed to the peripheral device.
What next?
Install and configure the software for the Digi SYNC/570i PCI adapter.
Usage Note
•If you change the interface of a port (by chang- ing the interface cable) while your system is up, the new interface may not be recognized until the driver is restarted.
If you have a problem
•If you have difficulty communicating with a peripheral connected to your SYNC/570i adapter, call Digi Support Services to obtain a diagnostic to use, and assistance in using it.
•If you have a problem booting your system after installation of your SYNC/570i adapter, you should call Digi Support Services for assistance.
