Titan/cPCI Installation Overview

There are two main stages in the installation process for your Titan/cPCI product:

1.Hardware Installation

This involves the physical connection of the Titan/cPCI hardware to your system.

2.Software Installation and Configuration of Titan/cPCI

This step installs and configures the Titan/cPCI drivers and allows you to set parameters specific to your serial requirements.

Hardware Installation

Connecting the Titan/cPCI to your System

Before you begin, take a minute to ensure that your package includes the required components that should have shipped with your Titan/cPCI:

•Titan/cPCI adapter and/or Titan/cPCI Rear I/O adapter (if applicable)

•Cable harness (optional with four-port models only)

•Titan/cPCI device drivers

•One CD containing software and documentation

If any of these components is missing, contact Connect Tech (See Contact Details) or your reseller.

Please read before you install your Titan/cPCI

Some Titan/cPCI cards are designed with rear I/O capabilities. These are 32-bit cards. The Titan/cPCI cards with rear I/O capabilities are NOT designed for use in 64-bit backplanes. Using these Titan/cPCI cards in a 64-bit backplane may damage the card and/or your equipment.

If you are uncertain whether the cPCI slots in your backplane support 32 or 64-bit cards, please consult your equipment manual or manufacturer.

Non-rear I/O versions of the Titan/cPCI cards are available (TN004 and TN007 for example). Please contact sales@connecttech.com for more details or support@connecttech.com if you have any questions.
