    Installer/User Manual SST-64P PCI Adapter Installing the SST-64P PCI Adapter The following procedure describes how to physically install your SST-64P PCI adapter in your computer. Alternatively, you can follow the installation instructions provided in your host computer documentation. To install the SST-64P PCI adapter: Turn off the host computer and disconnect the power cord.

  • Page 15: Installing Port Modules

    The 26-pin expansion bus port is a ring topology, which contains dedicated time slots for 64 ports of full-duplex serial data. The last port module connected to the adapter terminates the ring. Two types of expansion bus cables are provided to connect port modules to SST-64P PCI adapters: •...

    Figure 2.4: SST-64P PCI Adapter - Host Bus Cable - Port Module Using 4-foot and 1-foot HBCs You can connect up to four port modules to the expansion bus port of the SST-64P PCI adapter using Host Bus Cables (HBCs). First, interconnect the port modules from the OUTPUT connector of one to the INPUT connector of the next using 1-foot HBCs.

    POWER POWER ONLINE Figure 2.5: SST-64P PCI Adapter with Four Port Modules Connected using HBCs Using EBCs You can place port modules farther than the supplied 4-foot (1.2m) HBC allows by replacing the HBC with an EBC. As shown in Figure 2.6, a group of four port modules are located 100 feet (30.5m) from the host computer using an EBC.

    OFF. HDR6 In simple configurations, the SST-64P PCI adapter supplies power to all port modules attached to the expansion bus through the supplied 4-foot (1.2m) HBC (see Figure 2.9). The SST-64P PCI adapter provides power through the HBC to the first port module and to the next port module through the 1-foot HBC.
