4221 Condor Hardware Installation Procedures

For proper installation of the Condor, it is imperative that you use the following procedures.

Step 1. Visual Inspection

Before attempting the installation of this board, make sure you are wearing an anti-static or grounding device. Remove the Condor board from the anti-static bag, and visually inspect it to ensure no damage has occurred during shipment. A visual inspection usually is sufficient, since each board is thoroughly checked at Interphase just prior to shipment.

If the board is undamaged and all parts are accounted for, proceed with the installation.

Step 2. Fuse And Diagnostic LEDs

The following discusses the fuse, diagnostic LEDs, and board status LEDs.

Fuse

The AUI version of the Condor has a 1.5A fuse (F1) used to protect the +12 volts when provided by the Condor. Its part number is LITTLEFUSE 273-01.5. To determine the location of the fuse on the board, refer to the appropriate board layout.

Diagnostic LEDs

The Condor has as many as 8 LEDs that are mounted on the component side of the motherboard. Refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for illustrations that shows the location of the component side LEDs. The following table lists all LEDs and states their function and location.
