Introduction This technical manual describes all the activities required to modify your PCE hardware (e.g. installing boards or drives). Modifications to the system unit very often require the system to be reconfigured afterwards with the setup menu or the EISA configuration utility. Please read the notes on this subject in the text.
Safety The real-time clock chip on the system board includes a lithium battery which may be replaced only by authorized personnel. Incorrect handling Safety may lead to a risk of explosion. The chip may be replaced only with an identical chip or with a type Please note the information provided in the Operating Manual of the PCE.
System unit Opening the system unit System unit Opening the system unit Unlock the system unit. Switch the PCE off. Pull out the power plug. If any cables attached to the system unit are obstructing you, pull out the connectors on the system unit: Remove the cover at the rear of the system unit (1 + 2).

Opening the system unit System unit System unit Opening the system unit If you want to install or remove boards (e.g. expansion, memory or processor boards), you must also remove the plastic side cover. Unscrew the screw 1. If you are installing or removing a drive, also undo screw 2. If exist, pull the loudspeaker plug on the connection board (1).
Opening the system unit System unit System unit Closing the system unit Removing the front cover Closing the system unit You only need to remove the front cover if you are installing or removing a drive. To close the system unit, you must first replace the front cover if they have been removed.
Closing the system unit System unit System unit Closing the system unit Replacing side covers and top cover Ensure that the two side covers are not confused when they are installed. If you have installed or removed boards, you must first attach the plastic cover. Drop the side cover into the groove at a slanting angle (1).

Installing and removing a board System unit System unit Installing and removing a board Installing and removing a board Installing a board Open the housing as described under "Opening the system unit". Push the board horizontally up against the system board at the rear. Ensure that the metal bracket of the board is inserted between spring and slot.

SCSI-ID 0 resistor installed SCSI-ID 1 resistor not installed SCSI-ID 2 resistor not installed...
Changing the processor board System unit System unit Installing and removing memory modules Installing and removing memory modules In its basic configuration, the main memory has a capacity of 16 or 32 Mbytes and can be expanded to 512 Mbytes by using 32-Mbyte-modules. Slide the processor board into the guides until it is up against the system board.
Installing and removing memory modules System unit System unit Installing and removing memory modules Removing the memory board Installing memory modules Open the housing as described in "Opening the system unit". When installing memory modules make sure that the memory modules already installed do not hinder the installation of subsequent modules.
Installing and removing memory modules System unit System unit Installing and removing memory modules Removing memory modules Repeat the steps for the second module of the memory bank/for the removal of modules of other memory banks. Memory modules must always be removed bank by bank, i.e. 2 modules at a time. Installing the memory board Components may be damaged by static charges.
Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives Installing and removing disk drives In the system unit of the PCE, there is room for a total of ten drives. All bays are of drawer design, thus simplifying installation and removal of the drives.

Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives Screw the adapter to the rear of the drawer as shown. Ensure that the adapter Connect the data cable to the drive. Ensure that the connector is plugged in the is screwed in the right way round.
Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives If you have installed a visible (accessible) drive, make sure you keep the Removing an accessible drive metal plate in a safe place. If you subsequently remove the drive, you must refit this metal plate or a spare metal plate for cooling purposes, protection Open the system unit as described under "Opening the system unit".

Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives If you remove an accessible drive, you must replace the flat plate by a raised metal plate. A plastic cover is inserted into this metal plate and replaces the cover now missing in the front cover.
Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives Installing a non-accessible drive Open the system unit as described under "Opening the system unit". Bays 5 - 10 are intended for non-accessible 3 1/2" SCSI drives. SCSI drives in bays 5 - 9 may not have terminating resistors.
Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives Removing a non-accessible drive Open the system unit as described under "Opening the system unit". Slide the drawer into the system unit and screw the drawer down. Pull the data and power supply connectors from the drive you wish to remove.

Installing and removing disk drives System unit System unit Installing and removing disk drives Slide the drawer into the system unit and screw down the drawer. Hold the drive tightly in the drawer and unscrew the screw. Close the system unit as described under "Closing the system unit". The removal or installation of a drive can change the configuration of your PCE.
Interrupts, DMAs, interfaces Interrupts, DMAs, Interfaces Parallel interface (Centronics) Interrupt and DMA assignment This section deals with interrupt and DMA assignments (system resources) and provides information on the installation of additional boards.

Interrupts, DMAs, interfaces Interrupts, DMAs, interfaces Serial interfaces 1 and 2 SCSI interface The connection of a SCSI drive is the same for both external and internal use. The cable connecting system board and SCSI drive is a color-coded 50-wire standard SCSI cable with a maximum length of 3 m.
Boards System board Configuration options for the EISA slots Boards EISA slot Master and Slave Slave only System board 12 13 Terminating resistor for SCSI interface 1 Jumper 9 on the system board is provided for setting the terminating resistor for SCSI interface 1.
Connection board Boards Boards Connection board Connection board SCSI interface 2 on the connection board is not used as standard. If your operating system however has problems with assigning the drives to two SCSI controllers, the use of this interface could also solve the problems for the hard disk drives.
