  • Page 11: Installation

    Installation 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 Preparation and Precaution for Installation The ACXx429 features full PCI Plug and Play capability; therefore, there are no jumpers or switches on the board that require modification by the user in order to interface to the PCI bus. It is recommended to use a wrist strap for any installations.

  • Page 12: Connecting To Other Devices

    The connection to other devices is done via a SCSI-3 female connector. The Frontpanel have 32 ARINC429 channels, IRIG IN/OUT and Trigger OUT. The ACXx429-3U-32 implementation has the capability to share the I/O- pins. This means each ARINC429 channel can be used as Transmit or Receive channel, but only one operation mode is possible at one time.
