Inserting the EPC-3305
You install the EPC-3305 CPU board on the CompactPCI bus backplane. Before
installation, ensure that all options are installed on the EPC-3305 as described in
Maintaining and upgrading the EPC-3305 later in this chapter.
1. RadiSys recommends that power to your CompactPCI system is off.
2. Ensure that the ejector handles are in the normal (eject) position. (Push the top
handle up and the bottom handle down so that the handles are now tilted.)
3. Slide the EPC-3305 module into the slot. Use firm pressure on the handles to
mate the module with the connectors and snap connectors into normal position.
4. Tighten the retaining screws in the top and bottom of the front panel to ensure
proper connector mating and prevent the module from loosening due to
vibration.
5. Connect peripherals to the EPC-3305. Periperals typically include a video
display and keyboard, but also perhaps a mouse, modem, USB device, and so
on. For information about connector pinouts, see Appendix C, Connectors and
Appendix E, Rear Transition module (RTM)
6. Complete remaining steps as required. Typical remaining steps include:
Boot Block
Enable
4, 5 To enable re-programming of the Boot Block, connect
pin 5 (BBEN) to pin 4 (VCC). The BBEN pins are
separated to prevent accidental connections of these
pins (i.e. they cannot be easily jumpered together).
The Boot Block is typically NEVER re-programmed,
even when the main and parameter blocks are
re-programmed. However, the capability to program
the Boot Block facilitates quick changes during
manufacturing.
Function Pins Description
When handling or inserting the EPC-3305, avoid touching the circuit
board and connector pins, and ensure that the environment is static-free.
Observe the following while the system is powered up:
• Do not plug cables or connectors into the front panel connectors.
Because electronics equipment generally cannot withstand fluctuations
in power, damage can arise from plugging in a device or board while
power is on.
• Do not plug in a serial or parallel device, keyboard, transceiver,
monitor or other component. This applies to equipment at either end
of an interface cable.
