Unpacking the Board

Unpack the Dialogic® DM/V600A-2E1-PCI Media Board (“board”) according to the following steps:

1.Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.

2.Carefully remove the board from the shipping carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the board by the edges and avoid touching the board’s components.

3.Lay the board on the static-dissipative work

surface.

Note: Place boards in static-shielding bags when carrying boards from station to station.

CAUTION: Do not remove the board from the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper anti-static precautions at all times.

Configuring the Hardware

Board Identification

The 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 numbers, depending upon the PCI bus and slot number where the board is installed or removed.

Windows Systems

Leave SW1 set to the factory default of 0 to let the system automatically assign board instance numbers by PCI bus slot number.

After the hardware and the system software are installed, refer to the Dialogic® Configuration Manager (DCM) utility to retrieve the assigned board instance ID number(s). For more information about board identification, see the DCM online help.

Linux Systems

In a Linux system, you must set SW1 to a unique number for each installed board. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to one of 16 board ID settings, 0–9 or A–F.

After the hardware and the system software are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the assigned board instance ID number(s). For more information about Linux configuration files, see the Dialogic® System Software documentation.

Installing the Hardware

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 computer cover.

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.
