Getting Started This chapter explains installation of the following components to the cPCI-3915: CPU and heat sink Memory module 2.5” hard disk drive CF card CPU module 5.1 Installing the CPU and Heatsink The cPCI-3915 supports single Intel® Pentium® M/ Intel® Cele- ron®...
Heat Sink Installation To install the heat sink: 1. Remove the film on top of the thermal pads. Refer to Fig- ure 5-2: Heat Sink Installation. 2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU and Northbridge, making sure that the thermal pads has proper contact with the components.
Figure 5-2: Heat Sink Installation 5.2 Installing a Memory Module The cPCI-3915 supports one unbuffered, non-ECC DDR2 SDRAM in 200-pin SODIMM package. If the cPCI-3915 comes with a pre- installed memory module, proceed to the next section. Note: When installing a memory module, make sure that the mod- ule is firmly seated on the slot and does not interfere with any component.
5.3 Installing the Hard Disk Drive The cPCI-3195 supports a slim-type 2.5” HDD. If the cPCI-3195 comes with a pre-installed HDD, proceed to the next section. To install the hard disk drive: 1. Install the provided HDD bracket to the board. 2.
Figure 5-4: 2.5” Hard Disk Installation 5.4 CF Card Installation The CompactFlash card has been widely accepted in mission crit- ical embedded applications for its anti-shock/-vibration properties, better environmental tolerance, low power consumption, small form factor, and reliability. To install the CF card, insert it to the CF card slot located under the HDD.
Figure 5-5: Compact Flash Card Installation 5.5 Installing the cPCI-3915 to the Chassis To install the cPCI-3915 module to a CompactPCI chassis: 1. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the cPCI-3915. 2. Turn off the power in both chassis front and rear. 3.
6. Move the locking handle inward until it is fully-latched. A slight resistance may be felt when inserting the board. If the resistance is too strong, check if there are bent pins on the backplane or if the board’s connector pins are properly aligned with the connectors on the backplane.
Windows® Driver Installation The cPCI-3915 drivers are available from the ADLINK All-In-One CD or from the ADLINK website (http://www.adlinktech.com). The following describes the driver installation procedures for Win- dows® 2000, Windows® XP or Windows® Server 2003: 1. Install the Windows operating system before installing any driver.
Utilities 7.1 Watch Dog Timer This section explains the operation of the cPCI-3915’s watch dog timer (WDT).
