2.5 Hardware Installation Outline

Hardware configuration

These PCI cards (or CompactPCI, Low Profile PCI cards) are equipped with a Plug and Play PCI controller that requests base addresses and interrupts according to PCI standard. The system BIOS will install the system resource based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port locations) of the PCI cards can be assigned by system BIOS only. These system resource assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is not suggested to assign the system resource by any other methods.

PCI slot selection

The PCI and Low-Profile PCI cards can be inserted to any PCI slot without any configuration for system resource. CompactPCI peripheral slots are marked with a circle on the backplane. Please note that the PCI, CompactPCI, and Low-Profile PCI system board must provide bus-mastering capability to operate this board well.

Installation Procedures

1.Turn off the computer

2.Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to the computer

3.Remove the cover from your computer

4.Select a 32-bit PCI slot. PCI slot are short than ISA or EISA slots, and are usually white or ivory

5.Before handling the PCI cards, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer. Hold the edge of the card and do not touch the components

6.Position the board into the PCI selected slot.

7.Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system

Running 7200UTIL.EXE

The IRQ number and I/O port address can be configured by the system. Use the 7200UTIL.EXE utility to displayed the above values. A testing program is included in this utility to check if the PCI-7200 can work properly. Refer to Section 5.2 for further information.
