Comdial strives to design the features in our communications systems to be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not always possible, as the combinations of accessories and features are too varied and extensive to insure total feature compatibility. Accordingly, some features identified in this publication will not operate if some other feature is activated.
This publication serves that purpose by describing the installation of the basic elements into the FX Series system computer. This publication also includes any unique setup and application information needed to make a particular element fully operational.
Before handling any circuit board in the FX Series common equipment cabinet, place the cabinet on a conductive mat, and ground that mat to a good earth ground. (The third wire ground of the AC power line is an acceptable grounding point.)
PCI-based single-board computer and other PCI-based application-specific circuit boards. Installing The Passive Backplane Remove the passive backplane from its protective packaging and, attach it at the top of the FX Series equipment cabinet using the supplied hardware. Single-Board...
Installation And Application Instructions IMI89–322 Connecting The Circuit Boards The passive backplane provides four PCI (half-length) slots at the top of the board, two ISA slots for the single-board computer nere the middle of the board and four ISA (full-length) slots on the remainder of the board.
PICMG Version 2 PCI/ISA Standard. The single-board computer connects to the passive backplane to provide the computing needs of the FX Series CTI server system. By employing a standarized single-board computer and passive backplane arrangement, designers have the flexability to customize the server parameters to meet a wide range of industrial requirements.

To provide protection against surges and spikes that may appear on the AC line to the computer portion of the FX Series system, install a plug-in power line surge protector between the AC power cord of the installed equipment and the AC outlet. Normally, you can use one multi-outlet surge protector for both the telephony and computer portions of the FX Series system.
Installation And Application Instructions Installing The Hard Disk Drive The FX Series system computer requires a hard disk drive assembly. The hard disk drive mass storage unit used for storing large amounts of data for the Computer/Telephony Integration (CTI) features that the FX Series system provides.
Installation And Application Instructions IMI89–322 Mounting the Drive Cage In The Cabinet Mount the drive cage in the common equipment cabinet by inserting it from the inside of the cabinet into the opening at the top front of the cabinet, and attaching it with the four supplied screws. Common Equipment Cabinet...
IMI89–322 Installation And Application Instructions Connecting The Hard Disk Drive There are two cable connections that you must make to the floppy disk drive—the power connection, and the IDE data connection. Connecting The Hard Drive Power Plug The computer power supply’s multipurpose cable provides a plug that mates with the hard disk drive power connector.

Installation And Application Instructions Installing The Video Board The video board provides the interface between the FX Series system computer and the video monitor. It provides standard resolutions and color depths to the Computer/Telephony Integration (CTI) application software that is available for use with the FX Series system.
Expansion Board The serial port expansion circuit board provides the computer with four additional serial ports. Extra serial ports are very important when site requirements dictate that the FX Series system provide several different Computer/Telephony Integration (CTI) applications. You must install the serial port expansion...
The voice board allows connection between industry-standard station ports on the telephony portion and the computer portion of the FX Series system. The voice board and associated cables provide the electronic interface while the VVP application software provides the user interface to the voice board.
Installation And Application Instructions IMI89–322 Installing The Voice board You must install the voice board in the second ISA slot. 1. Notice that the board has a wide metal connector bracket along one edge that contains the voice processing ports. These are connections for telephony equipment. You must remove from the common equipment cabinet the blank plate that covers the opening in front of the second ISA slot to make room for the board’s connector bracket.
Installing The Network Interface Board The network interface board (NIC) provides the FX Series system computer with an Ethernet interface between it and external data equipment. Ethernet is a data protocol for creating a local area network or LAN that connects together devices such as computers, data printers, work stations, terminals, and so forth within the same location.
