B.5 ICP Controller Installation

Make sure that the ICP Controller is equipped with an appropriate unbuffered PC100DIMM

(at least 16MB). It is not possible to operate the ICP Controller without a DIMM.

Step 1

Switch off the PCI computer system and remove all cables (first of all the power supply).

Step 2

Following the instructions in the computer manual, open the case of the PCI computer, so

that you have easy access to the PCI expansion slots.

Step 3

Select a free 64 Bit PCI bus-master slot or 32 Bit PCI bus-master slot and remove the

metal bracket, following the instructions in your PCI computer manual. It is essential that

the ICP Controller is plugged into a bus-master slot (it will NOT work in a slave or non-bus-

master slot). Some motherboards have only 1 bus-master slot. Make sure that the selected

slot has a sufficiently cooling airflow. Permanent overheating of electronic devices de-

creases their life time drastically. If an ICP Controller of the RN Series is operated in a

32 Bit PCI bus-master slot, make sure that the unused card-edge connector of the ICP

Controller has no contact with other components in the PCI slot area. There are no fur-

ther settings required to operate the ICP Controller in a 32 Bit or 64 Bit PCI bus-master slot.
