4 How to install the motion control board in the PC
You need:
•
Motion control board APCI-8001 or APCI-8008
•
TOOLSET CD
4.1 Installing the xPCI-800x controller
•
Switch the PC off
•
Electrostatically discharge yourself
•
Insert the board vertically from above into the selected PCI slot
(Ensure that you do not touch the gold contacts, if necessary the contacts can first be cleaned with
alcohol)
•
Switch the PC on and start Windows.
Supply voltages of 3.3 V and 5 V must be available at the PCI bus of the target system (PC
motherboard). This can be identified using the diagnosis LEDs listed below, after switching on the
PC. All diagnosis LEDs are on the back (soldered side) of the xPCI-800x controller, on the top edge
of the board. These are small SMD (surface-mounted) light-emitting diodes. See also the sub-
component insertion diagram on the next page.
Device
APCI-8001
APCI-8008
For most PC systems, the results of the PCI plug and play bios are displayed during the boot process.
An xPCI-800x controller with the following identity (APCI-8001) should be listed there:
Vendor ID: 11AB (hex) and Device ID: 4611 (hex)
Windows 95, 98, Me and Windows 2000 automatically recognises the xPCI-800x board.
For installation, you now require the xPCI-800x TOOLSET CD. There you will find the necessary INF file
to install the board, under the inf sub-directory. You must register the xPCI-800x controller as a multi-
function board if necessary.
