Network Cards

The following procedures apply to all DACS models for both the Host Interface and DIS/HLA

network interface cards.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

• #1 Phillips Screwdriver

• Software Protection Disk for replacement ethernet card

REMOVAL:

• Perform Power Down Sequence described in Chapter 4, DACS Operation.

• Before proceeding, take care that ESD precautions are observed by ensuring that both you

and the equipment are properly grounded.

• Disconnect all cables from the DACS.

• Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the top of the chassis in place.

Check the front, top, rear, and sides of chassis for locations of the screws, which may vary

from system to system.

• Unscrew the screw holding the host interface card in place. Gently pull the card out of the

slot, rocking it back and forth slightly, if necessary.

• Place the card in an anti-static bag for ESD protection.

INSTALLATION:

• Perform Power Down Sequence described in Chapter 4, DACS Operation.

• Before proceeding, take care that ESD precautions are observed by ensuring that both you

and the equipment are properly grounded.

• Remove replacement card from anti-static bag.

• For legacy 10Mbs Ethernet, check the replacement card for the correct conﬁguration.

Either duplicate the jumper settings with the card being replaced, or if replacing Host card,

then set jumper on #3 “I/O=300, IRQ=10.” For the DIS card, set jumper on #2 “I/O=280,

IRQ=3.”

• For 100Mbs Ethernet, no addressing is necessary. It is performed during system start-up.

• Insert the card in the slot that was occupied by the old card.

• Secure the card by screwing the securing bracket to the chassis.

• Reinstall the DACS chassis cover on the system and put the screws back into place.

• Reinstall all cables.

• Perform power up sequence described in Chapter 4, DACS Operation.

• Exit the Model Builder software environment
