53SU6000 INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
Introduction 5
3.0 INSTALLATION
The 53SU6000 is composed of several hardware and software components integrated into a base per-
sonal computer (PC). This section provides information on installing these hardware and software compo-
nents. Some of the instructions for this installation will be included with the hardware or software
components and are not addressed in this Installation and Setup Guide. The installation order of these
components is significant, and should be done in the following sequence:
1. Set up the base PC. (See Section 3.1 .)
2. Verify that the base PC is running the Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP
Professional operating system. If this operating system is not already installed on the base
PC, install it at this time. (
Section 3.2 .)
3. Determine the available I/O addresses that can be used when installing a Supervisor board.
(See
Section 3.3 .)
4. Install the optional Micro-DCI network interface board. This can be either a Datalink
Supervisor board, MicroLink Supervisor board or Redundant MicroLink Supervisor board
pair. These supervisor boards enable multiple instruments to be networked together and
connected to this base PC. (See
Section 3.4.1 .)
5. Install the 53SU6000 hardware key. (See Section 3.4.2 .)
6. Connect the Micro-DCI instruments to base PC. (See Section 3.4.3 .)
7. Verify that Windows Workstation has been properly configured to run the 53SU6000.
(See Section 3.4.4.)
8. Install the 53SU6000 software. (See Section 3.5 .)
