Adaptec PCM-3420 manual Installing PC/104 modules

Installing PC/104 modules

The CPU card's PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to attach PC/104 expansion modules. These modules perform the functions of traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space and valuable slots. Modules include:

•PCM-3335386 CPU Module w/ Flat Panel/CRT Interface

•PCM-3600FAX/Modem Module

•PCM-3420Fast SCSI-2 Module

• PCM-3200Sound Module

•PCM-3810Solid State Disk Module

•PCM-3820High Density Flash Disk Module

•PCM-3115PCMCIA Module (two slots)

•PCM-3610Isolated RS-232 and RS-422/485 Module

•PCM-3660Ethernet Module

•PCM-371830 KHz A/D Module

•PCM-372448-Channel DIO Module

•PCM-3910Breadboard Module

Installing these modules on the CPU card is quick and simple. The following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules:

1.Remove the CPU card from your system paying particular attention to the safety instructions already mentioned.

2.Make any jumper or link changes required to the CPU card now. Once the PC/104 module is mounted you may have difficulty in accessing these.

3.Normal PC/104 modules have male connectors and mount directly onto the main card. However, to ensure better bus matching, the connectors on the CPU card and the PC/104 module are both female. For this reason, you may need to use the "male-male" adapter included with the CPU card in order to properly connect your PC/104 module. (Refer to the diagram on the following page.)

4.Mount the PC/104 module onto the CPU card by pressing the module firmly but carefully onto the mounting connectors.

5.Secure the PC/104 module onto the CPU card using the four mounting spacers and srews.
