Lo5 Expresscard To Zbus Interface - TDT RZ2 Manual

LO5 ExpressCard to zBus Interface
LO5 Overview
The LO5 ExpressCard to zBus Interface model provides a means of controlling
System 3 devices from a laptop (or any computer with an ExpressCard slot) and
offers performance comparable to the Optibit system (Optical Gigabit).
The entire interface system consists of a 34mm (26 pin) ExpressCard that is
attached with a cable to a free standing fiber optic interface module. The module
can then connect to the zBus optic port on any RZ device or via an FO5 housed
in a zBus chassis. When connecting to a multiple device system, devices are daisy-
chained together with multiple fiber optic cables.
The LO5 module requires AC power.

Hardware Set‐up
The System 3 hardware, LO5, and ExpressCard should all be connected before
turning on the laptop. If the system is not connected before boot-up, the LO5 may
fail to initialize and will not appear in zBUSmon. If the LO5 does not initialize,
unplug the system and reconnect to the ExpressCard. If the LO5 still does not
initialize, ensure all devices are connected and powered on, then reboot the laptop.
