3.Select an available CompactPCI slot to install the ZNYX NetBlaster adapter. Remove the slot cover from the front panel. Remove the corresponding cover from the slot on the rear I/O panel.

4.Insert the ZNYX adapter into the slot. Make certain that you push the adapter straight into the slot; the bracket and the slot must be properly aligned and the adapter fully seated. The bracket is well seated when it touches the system case up to the extraction levers.

5.Pull up on the extraction levers to finish seating the adapter, and secure the retention screws.

6.Insert the ZNYX rear transition module into the corresponding slot in the rear panel of the chassis.

Note: Exercise extreme care when inserting the rear transition card into the chassis. Improper alignment of the rear transition card connector with the rear panel connector pins can damage the pins.

Make certain that you push the adapter straight into the slot; the bracket and the slot must be properly aligned and the adapter fully seated. A good seat is achieved when the bracket touches the system case, up to the extraction levers.

Rear transition modules are available with Type-Bor Type-ABconnectors. Type-ABconnectors include guide pins to aid in properly aligning the rear transition module for insertion. A backplane that is only Type-Bcapable will not accept a Type-ABconnector on the rear transition module.

LAN Cable Connection

The LAN cable must be properly attached to a functioning network for the adapter to operate. 100 Mbps connections require Category 5 cabling. here are two ways to connect the system using twisted pair: (1) system to system; (2) direct system to hub or switch. You can connect your adapter directly to another system with a null cable. A null cable, or crossover cable, “crosses over” transmit and receive pairs.

You can connect your adapter directly to a hub or switch with an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Make certain that the cable length is within the minimum and maximum length restrictions for Ethernet, or you could experience signal or data loss.
