3.4 CP346 Specific Installation
3.4.1 Board Location in the System
Board location within a system must be carefully considered. Depending on the number of
CP346 boards, their locations in a given system and the operating system being used, appli-
cation programs may have difficulty in identifying boards properly. In particular, when configu-
ration changes such as board replacement, movement to another slot etc. are made after the
initial system implementation. Therefore, any changes made to a system should be carefully
considered before making the change, and proper operation be verified before the system is
put into operation again.
3.4.2 Cabling
3.4.2.1 Four-Channel Front Panel Adapter
In order to provide separate serial I/O channelling, a four-channel front panel adapter cable can
be connected to the 37-pin frontend connector of the CP346. This adapter terminates on the
user side with four male 9-pin D-Sub connectors which include the signals of channels 0 to 3.
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the CP346 nor system boards are physically damaged by the
application of these procedures.
Note...
When configuring a system it is recommended that all boards to be
used first be installed in the system prior to installing any drivers or
other board related software. Failure to do so may result in the non-
identification of a given board or boards.
