2.1Kit Content

The 80332 Kit contains the following items:

IQ80332 with 400 MHz DDRII SDRAM DIMMs

CodeLab* Development Environment from Accelerated Technology Incorporated*

JTAG Emulation unit

Serial Cable and RJ11 Adapter

2.2Hardware Installation

Warning: Static charges can severely damage the boards. Be sure you are properly grounded before removing the board from the anti-static bag.

2.2.1First-Time Installation and Test

For first-time installation, visually inspect the 80332 for any damage made during shipment. Follow the host system manufacturer’s instructions for installing a PCI Express adapter card. The board is a full-length host bus adapter card that requires a PCI Express slot free from obstructions. The IQ80332 has a x8 (read as ‘by eight’) edge connector.

Note: Please note, at this time the IQ80332 does NOT work in a passive backplane. This is due to the nature of the PCI Express linking protocol. For the I/O processor to successfully come out of reset, a link must be established on the PCI Express bus. Without another device on a passive backplane to ‘talk to’, a link is not established.
