Dialogic DM/V2400A-PCI - Manual

CAUTION

: If your BIOS is set to use Plug and Play

technology and there are ISA boards in your system,
an IRQ conflict can be created if the DM3 board is
assigned the same IRQ as an ISA board. This could
cause the machine to stop responding. You can prevent
this by entering the BIOS and reserving the appropriate
IRQs (those used by your ISA boards) for ISA use
only.

10.

Replace the chassis cover when finished and reconnect
the power cords.

NOTE:

Your system may include both CT Bus and

SCbus boards. To connect both board types, you must
install a CT Bus/SCbus Adapter on one of the CT Bus
boards in a system. See the

CT Bus/SCbus Adapter

Quick Install Card

for installation details about the

Adapter and the bus cables. Contact your Dialogic
Sales Representative to order an Adapter.

9.

Install CT Bus Termination Jumpers only on boards
located at each end of the CT Bus cable. See

Physical

Description

section.

8.

Use the CT Bus cable to connect the board(s) you are
installing to other boards in the system.

6.

Replace and tighten the slot’s retaining screw to
secure the board firmly in the chassis (if applicable).

5.

Using the slot’s board guides, insert the board edge
connector into the bus slot. Press firmly until the
board is securely seated in the slot.

4.

If you are not installing your board in an ISA form
factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer from
the board.

7.

Select a new PCI slot and repeat steps 3-6 for each
board you are installing.

Before You Begin

Protecting the Board from Damage

CAUTION:

All computer boards are sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-sensitive
boards and components at a static-safe work area,
and observe anti-static precautions at all times.

If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit

http://www.dialogic.com/support/hwinstall

to learn more.

Unpacking the Board

Unpack the Dialogic

®

DM3 Media Board (“board”)

according to the following steps:

1.

Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.

2.

Carefully remove the board from the shipping
carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the
board by the edges and avoid touching the
board’s components.

3.

Lay the board on the static-dissipative work
surface.

NOTE:

Place boards in static-shielding bags when

carrying boards from station to station.

CAUTION

:

Do not remove the board from the anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper
anti-static precautions at all times.

Configuring the Hardware

Board Identification

The Dialogic

®

DM3 device driver, part of the Dialogic

®

System Software, assigns board instance numbers in
ascending order (beginning with 0) as it detects each board
in your system. A board instance number is the

identification (ID) number used by the system software to
recognize the board.

NOTE:

If you add a board to the system, the existing

board instance (ID) numbers may change, depending upon
the PCI bus and slot number where the new board is
installed.

Windows System

After the Dialogic

®

hardware and the Dialogic

®

System

Software are installed, refer to the Dialogic

®

Configuration

Manager (DCM) utility to retrieve the board instance (ID)
number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

See the DCM online help for more details about board
identification.

Linux System

In a Linux system, you

must

set SW1 to a unique number

for each installed board in your system. Use a non-
magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to 1 of 16 board
settings, 0-9 or A-F.

After the Dialogic hardware and Dialogic System Software
are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to
retrieve the assigned board instance (ID) number(s)
assigned to the board(s) in your system. For more
information about Linux configuration files, see the
Dialogic® Software Installation Reference.

Installing the Hardware

NOTE

: Dialogic recommends that you install Dialogic

®

hardware before Dialogic

®

software. However, if you are

adding hardware to an existing system, you do not need to
uninstall existing Dialogic software.

1.

With your computer on the static-safe work area,
switch off the power and disconnect all power cords
from the electrical outlets.

2.

Remove the chassis cover plate.

3.

Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove
the slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if
applicable).
