4 Add‐On Card Installation
4.1 Pre‐installation notes
The user can install CompactFlash or PCI add‐on cards such as Interbus cards in the device. The card slot is
accessed by taking off the back cover. The crosshead screws on the back of the control system should be
removed for this purpose.
Achtung:
The components in the device are highly sensitive products, which can be destroyed or
impaired by improper handling. The same applies to the PC add‐on cards to be installed.
Therefore the appropriate measures have to be implemented in all cases to avoid
electrostatic shock to the components upon contact.
4.2 Notes on configuring the add‐on card (PnP)
The Ethernet and IDE controllers on the adsX board are connected via an internal PCI bus. Therefore the
addresses and IRQs are automatically assigned by the BIOS. The following should be considered when installing
or reconfiguring ISA cards:
•Install and switch on device without ISA cards and then note down the assigned IRQs and addresses.
•Install additional ISA cards in such a way that the IRQs assigned to PCI controllers are not used again.
•Reserve IRQs for ISA cards in the BIOS.
4.3 Installing add‐on cards
• •Switch off the device and all units connected to the PC and disconnect them from the power supply.
•Unscrew the cover screws using a matching screwdriver and carefully remove the cover.
Warning:
The cover may be connected to mechanical parts in the device by a grounding wire! Do
not remove the cover with force...
•Reduce electrostatic charge by implementing the appropriate measures (see above), remove the add‐on card
from the packaging, place it in the slot and bolt it to the card mount.
•Each ISA card should be fastened in the matching slot with a clamp to prevent the card from falling out.
•Reconnect the grounding conductor if it has been removed and replace the cover while paying attention to the
side clips as the case may be.
•Tighten all of the screws on the cover again.
