• Bus: Your computer must have the corresponding bus. (PCI / ISA) 2.2 Safety precautions For the sake of your security and the faultless function of your new QUANCOM board mind the following advice: • Before opening the computer please unplug it.
Installation procedures 2.3 Installing the QUANCOM board CAUTION: 1. Always turn the system power off and remove the power cord from the wall before installing or removing any device. 2. Always pay regard to static electricity precautions. See „Safety precautions“ in chapter 2.2 1.
Technical hardware description 3 Technical hardware description 3.1 General information To slow down the time for comfortable testing of PCI-cards we developed the PCI- Extender card. A master switch, on one side of the extender card, switches all PCI- Bus conductors via relays and power supply, over the MOS-FET, to the upper slot. Because of this, it is possible to plug and unplug the PCI cards while the PC is in operation.
Technical hardware description 3.3.2 The layout of the 37-pin D-Sub connector +3,3V +12V -12V data0 data1 data2 data3 data4 data5 data6 data7 Temp. The +5V operating voltage at pin 19, is not switched by the MOSFET and is therefore available independently from the setting of the main and the DIP switch. All the other operating voltages will be controlled by the setting on the DIP switch.
Technical hardware description 3.4 DIP switch settings The Bus signals are located on the upper slot when the Relays are active and when the switch “SW1” is set to “on”. Similarly, the operating voltage are sent through the MOSFETS to the top only when the switch “SW1” resp. “SW2” is set to “off” and the main switch is on.
