Introduction Chapter 1 This chapter discusses the primary features of the EPC-2102 Single-Board Computer. If you are familiar with the primary components and functions of the EPC-2102, and you wish to quickly begin operating the SBC, go to Chapter 2, “7 Steps to Operation,”...
7 Steps to Operation Chapter 2 This chapter describes basic precautions for handling the EPC-2102. This chapter then outlines the basic steps for setting up the SBC: 1. Check jumper settings 2. Check switch settings 3. Install the SBC 4. Attach peripheral devices to headers 5.
EPC-2102 Single-Board Computer Handling the EPC-2102 Overview This section suggests basic precautions when handling the EPC-2102 series SBC. Static Electricity The EPC-2102 is designed to protect against ESD (electro-static discharge) and excessive voltage. However, excessive static electricity can damage components. Before you handle the SBC, use the grounding wrist strap provided with the system to discharge static electricity.
Chapter 2: 7 Steps to Operation Figure 2. Safely Handling the SBC Always handle the SBC by the edges. To avoid damage or injury, always power-off the system and disconnect all power cords from their power source before handling the equipment. To help prevent accidental damage that can be caused by static discharge, always use a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device when accessing the interior of the chassis and handling the equipment.
EPC-2102 Single-Board Computer Step 1: Check Jumper Settings Overview Before you install the EPC-2102 onto a passive backplane in a chassis, check the jumper settings on the SBC (Figure Definition A jumper is a small "bridge" that connects two pins on a jumper block. The position of a jumper affects the device's operational parameters.

Secure the I/O bracket to the fastening lip on the chassis. Note: To install the EPC-2102 onto a passive backplane not manufactured by RadiSys, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the backplane. If the SBC is installed into a chassis not manufactured by RadiSys, a custom cable might be needed to adapt the keyboard header to the wiring in the chassis.

EPC-2102 Single-Board Computer Step 6: Power-On the System Overview After you have installed the EPC-2102 and connected all devices, power-on the system. No Power If the system does not power-on, check all power connections and the power source. If power connections are secure and the power source is adequate, contact Technical Support at 800-627-8700 or 713-541-8200 between 8:00 a.m.
