Before you power up the VXI Pentium Controller, ensure that you have
completed the following steps.
1. Installed any other EXM interface card(s) in the controller, if needed.
2. Connected all peripherals (including a keyboard, mouse, and monitor)
to the controller.
3. Turned on the power to the monitor so that it will be warmed up and
ready to display messages before power is applied to the controller.
4. Checked that the power supply to the VXI card cage in which the
controller is installed is connected.
When you have completed the previous steps, power up the controller by
simply turning on the power switch to the VXI card cage in which the
controller is installed.
Note
Please refer to Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting," if the RUN LED on the front
panel of the controller is not lit or the TEST LED is still lit after you power
up the controller.
The controller has an internal clock the value of which is maintained in
battery-backed memory when power is removed from the system. The
setting of this clock as entered by the factory will probably not match your
local time. You are advised to reset the internal clock the first time you boot
the controller.
Note
Setting the internal clock is best done from within your operating system.

following procedure if you choose to set the time from within your
operating system.
