Hardware Installation
Introduction
Hardware installation involves configuration of the following
Titan/cPCI products:
The Titan/cPCI-2 /cPCI-4 adapters
Note: Please refer to Chapter 3: Software Installation for
installation of your Titan/cPCI board under certain operating
systems.
Configuration
Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (cPCI) bus
architecture offers a feature called Plug and Play (sometimes
referred to as PnP). This feature automatically identifies and
configures installed devices each time the system boots.
In most CompactPCI compliant computers, the system BIOS will
automatically detect and configure the Titan/cPCI adapter.
However in some cases a system BIOS cannot resolve all of the
requests for resources in the system. This often occurs with the
assignment of system interrupts, since this is usually the scarcest
resource.
If this occurs, the driver will signal that a given resource has not
been assigned, which requires the user to assign system resources
manually. After reboot, determine with the BIOS setup utility
what resources have been assigned to the cPCI devices and then
do manual assignments of free resources to your cPCI device.
Reboot your system. If the BIOS cannot find a suitable
configuration please contact Connect Tech Technical Support.
Baud Rate Selection
Titan/cPCI adapters offer ideal solutions for applications
requiring serial communications up to 1.8432 Mbps. Baud rates
are software selectable, so therefore please refer to Chapter 3:
Software Installation for configuring the baud rates under
certain operating systems.
