identification (ID) number used by the system software to recognize the board.
NOTE: If you add a board to the system, the existing board instance (ID) numbers may change, depending upon the PCI bus and slot number where the new board is installed.
After the Dialogic hardware and Dialogic System Software are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the assigned board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system. For more information about Linux configuration files, see the Dialogic® Software Installation Reference.
NOTE: Your system may include both CT Bus and SCbus boards. To connect both board types, you must install a CT Bus/SCbus Adapter on one of the CT Bus boards in a system. See the CT Bus/SCbus Adapter Quick Install Card for installation details about the Adapter and the bus cables. Contact your Dialogic Sales Representative to order an Adapter.
NOTE: Place boards in

Configuring the Hardware
Board Identification
The Dialogic® DM3 device driver, part of the Dialogic® 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
Windows System
After the Dialogic® hardware and the Dialogic® 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 installed board in your system. Use a non- magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to 1 of 16 board settings,
Installing the Hardware
NOTE: Dialogic recommends that you install Dialogic® hardware before Dialogic® software. However, if you are adding hardware to an existing system, you do not need to uninstall existing Dialogic software.

2.Remove the chassis cover plate.
3.Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if applicable).
9.Install CT Bus Termination Jumpers only on boards located at each end of the CT Bus cable. See Physical Description section.
10.Replace the chassis cover when finished and reconnect the power cords.
11.Turn the power to the chassis ON.
CAUTION: If your BIOS is set to use Plug and Play technology and there are ISA boards in your system, an IRQ conflict can be created if the DM3 board is assigned the same IRQ as an ISA board. This could cause the machine to stop responding. You can prevent this by entering the BIOS and reserving the appropriate IRQs (those used by your ISA boards) for ISA use only.
