Before You Begin

Protecting the Board from Damage

Caution! All computer boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-sensitive boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe anti-static precautions at all times.

If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit http://www.dialogic.com/support/hwinstall to learn more.

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 DM3 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 (ID) numbers.

Windows System

After the hardware and the system software are installed, refer to the Dialogic® Configuration Manager (DCM) utility to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

See the DCM online help for more details about board identification.

Linux System

In a Linux system, you must set SW1 to a unique number for each DM3 board in your system. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to 1 of 16 board settings, 0-9 or A-F.

After the hardware and system software are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

For more information about Linux configuration files, see the Software Installation Reference.

Installing the Hardware

NOTE: You should install the hardware before the system software. However, if you are adding DM3 hardware to an existing DM3 system, you do not need to uninstall existing DM3 software.

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).
