- Page 3 IMPORTANT! Please read before installing your product. Octagon's products are designed to be high in performance while consuming very little power. In order to maintain this advantage, CMOS circuitry is used. CMOS chips have specific needs and some special requirements that the user must be aware of.
- Page 4 Using CMOS Circuitry in Industrial Control Industrial computers originally used LSTTL circuits. Because many PC components are used in laptop computers, IC manufac- turers are exclusively using CMOS technology. Both TTL and CMOS have failure mechanisms, but they are different. This section describes some of the common failures which are common to all manufacturers of CMOS equipment.
- Page 5 Octagon has never found a single case where multiple IC failures were not caused by misuse or accident. It is very probable that multiple component failures indicate that they were user-induced. Testing “dead” cards - For a card that is “completely nonfunctional”, there is a simple test to determine accidental over voltage, reverse voltage or other “forced”...
- Page 6 Serial and parallel - Customers sometimes connect the serial and printer devices to the Micro PC while the power is off. This can cause the failure mentioned in the above section, Failure upon power-up. Even if they are connected with the Micro PC on, there can be another failure mechanism.

Page 15: Chapter 2: Installation
Chapter 2 INSTALLATION The 5610 Relay Card uses one slot of the Micro PC card cage. It may be used with any Micro PC Control Card. The 5610 contains static sensitive CMOS WARNING: components. The greatest danger occurs when the card is plugged into a card cage. -
Page 16: Base Addresses
CR16 Figure 2–1—5610 Component Diagram Base Addresses The 5610 is configured at the factory to operate in most systems without any jumper changes. Jumper block W1 defines the base address. As shipped, the base address is 100H, which is jumper configuration W1[1–2, 3–4, 5–6]. - Page 17 160H Not jumpberd 170H * = default To install the 5610 in a Micro PC card cage: Take care to correctly position the 5610 in the WARNING: card cage. The V CC and ground signals must match those on the backplane. Figure 2–2 shows the relative position of the 5610 as it is installed in the backplane.
- Page 18 Slide the 5610 into the card cage. The components on the card should face to the left. The lettering on the card (Octagon Systems Corp.) should be on the top edge of the card and the gold contact fingers toward the backplane.
