Setting Up the CoreModule 800

Connecting the Power Supply

12) Connect the Power Supply

Connect the AT power supply to the power adapter cable connected to J7 on the CoreModule 800.

The available connector mates with the standard power connectors used for hard disk drives on AT or ATX power supplies.

13)

Connect all support devices

• Ensure all of the support devices you have plugged into the

 

to the power supply

connectors (except the CRT (VGA) from the CoreModule 800 have

 

 

good power connections to the AT power supply.

14)

Check/Set jumper settings

• Check or set the jumpers on the CoreModule 800 and the I/O Board.

 

 

Refer to Table 1-1 and Figure 1-8 for CoreModule 800 jumper

 

 

settings. Refer to Table B-1 and Figure B-1 for the I/O Board settings.

Applying Power to the CoreModule 800

15) Check/Set the Power Supply

 

• If the power supply uses auto-ranging operation at 50/60 Hz, skip

Input Voltage

 

this step.

 

 

 

 

• Check the input voltage switch on the power supply located on the

 

 

rear of the supply just below the power connector.

 

 

The input voltage switch typically has two positions: 115 or 230

 

 

volts – 115 volts is typically the default position.

16) Power up the

 

a. Plug the CRT monitor’s power cord into an AC outlet and turn on

CoreModule 800

 

 

the monitor.

 

 

 

 

b. Plug the AT power supply’s power cord into the AC outlet.

 

 

c. Turn the AT power supply’s power switch to On before continuing.

17) Verify the CoreModule 800

 

• Verify the CoreModule 800 passes POST successfully

powers-up satisfactorily

 

• If a bootable device, the LAN Boot image, or the desired operating

 

 

 

 

system is not loaded on one of the boot devices (floppy drive or CD-

 

 

ROM) prior to power up, you will see an error message Reboot and

 

 

Select proper Boot device, or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot

 

 

device and press a key near the end of the boot process. The boot

 

 

process stops until you intervene, by selecting from:

 

 

Reboot the system and go to Step 18 (Enter BIOS Setup), or

 

 

a. Turn off the power switch on the power supply.

 

 

b. Connect a bootable device to the CoreModule 800, reapply

 

 

power to the system, which reboots the system, and then skip

 

 

to Step 18 or 20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

Ampro does not recommend using a hard disk drive

 

 

 

 

with a preinstalled OS from another model computer to

 

 

 

 

boot the CoreModule 800. This has proven to cause

 

 

 

 

problems or provide unreliable operation. Use a

 

 

 

 

bootable device (floppy or CD-ROM) to load the

 

 

 

 

desired OS onto the hard drive and then the drivers,

 

 

 

 

while attached to the Core Module 800. See Step 20.
