Attach Module to Prototyping Board
Turn the RCM3010 module so that the Ethernet connector end of the module extends off the Prototyp-
ing Board, as shown in Figure 1 below. Align the pins from headers J1 and J2 on the bottom side of
the module into header sockets RCM2JA and RCM2JB on the Prototyping Board (these sockets were
labeled J12 and J13 on earlier versions of the Prototyping Board).

Figure 1. Install the RCM3010 Module on the Prototyping Board
Although you can install a single module into either the MASTER or the SLAVE position on the Proto-
typing Board, all the Prototyping Board features (switches, LEDs, serial port drivers, etc.) are con-
nected to the MASTER position — install a single module in the MASTER position.
NOTE: It is important that you line up the pins on headers J1 and J2 of the RCM3010 module
exactly with the corresponding header sockets RCM2JA and RCM2JB on the Prototyping
Board. The header pins may become bent or damaged if the pin alignment is offset, and the
module will not work. Permanent electrical damage to the module may also result if a mis-
aligned module is powered up.
Press the module's pins firmly into the Prototyping Board header sockets—press down in the area
above the header pins using your thumbs or fingers over the connectors as shown in Figure 1. Do not
press down on the middle of the RCM3010 module to avoid flexing the module, which could damage
the module or the components on the module.
Should you need to remove the RCM3010 module, grasp it with your fingers along the sides by the
connectors and gently work the module up to pull the pins away from the sockets where they are
installed. Do not remove the module by grasping it at the top and bottom.
Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM3010 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs
and to monitor the RCM3010 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled PROG to header J3 on the RCM3010
as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the
connector. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which is used for a normal serial connection.)

Programming Cable
Figure 2. Connect Programming Cable and Power Supply
NOTE: Be sure to use the programming cable (part number 101-0513) supplied with this Devel-
opment Kit—the programming cable has red shrink wrap around the RS-232 converter section
located in the middle of the cable. Programming cables with blue or clear shrink wrap from
other Rabbit Semiconductor kits are not designed to work with RCM3000 modules.
Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.
NOTE: Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use an
RS-232/USB converter (Part No. 540-0070) with the programming cable supplied with the
RCM3000 Development Kit. Note that not all RS-232/USB converters work with Dynamic C.
Connect Power
Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.
Connect the AC adapter to jack J11 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 2 above.
Plug in the AC adapter. The POWER LED on the Prototyping Board should light up. The RCM3010
and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE: A RESET button is provided on the Prototyping Board to allow a hardware reset without
disconnecting power.
Alternate Power-Supply Connections
Development kits sold outside North America include a header connector that may be used to connect
your power supply to 3-pin header J9 on the Prototyping Board. The connector may be attached either
way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J9 is always connected to the positive ter-
minal, and either edge pin is ground. The power supply should deliver 8 V–24 V DC at 8 W.
