2.3 System Requirements

To install and use AG 2000 boards, your system must have:

2.4 Configuring the Hardware
Caution:

The AG 2000 board is shipped in a protective anti-static container. Leave the board in its container until you are ready to install it. Handle the board carefully and only hold it by its edges. We recommend that you wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a good earth ground whenever you handle the board. Take care not to touch the gold fingers which plug into the PCI bus connectors.

2.4.1 Terminating the H.100 Bus

In your system, your H.100 boards are connected to one another with an H.100 bus cable. The two boards located at the end of the H.100 bus must have bus termination enabled, as shown in Figure 8. Bus termination is controlled by a DIP switch as explained in Section 2.4.2.

Figure 8. H.100 Bus Configuration



If your system contains MVIP-90 boards, one of your AG 2000 boards will be connected to the H.100 bus and to the MVIP-90 bus using the MVIP Bus Adapter. The two ends of the H.100 bus must be terminated. The two ends of the MVIP-90 bus must not be terminated. The AG 2000 board does not terminate the MVIP-90 bus.






2.4.2	 Configuring the DIP Switch





The AG 2000 DIP switch is located on the component side of the board. 



DIP switch S1 (shown in Figure 9) controls the H.100 bus termination. By default, all S1 switches are set to OFF (H.100 bus termination disabled). Setting switch S1 to ON enables H.100 bus termination. You should only set switch S1 to ON for the boards that are on the ends of the H.100 bus.



DIP switch S1 should be set to either all ON or all OFF.

2.5	 Installing the Hardware





Once you have configured the DIP switch on the board, you are ready to install the board in your system and connect the board to the trunk.






2.5.1	 Installing the Board in Your System





To install an AG 2000 board in your system:


    


  1. If necessary, configure the board as described in Section 2.4.
    

    

  2. Turn off the computer and disconnect it from the AC power source. Remove the cover and set it aside.
    

    

  3. Arrange your AG 2000 board and other H.100 boards in adjacent PCI bus slots.
    

    
Make sure each board's PCI bus connector is seated securely in a slot.
    

  4. If your system contains MVIP-90 boards:
    

      

    

  5. Arrange your MVIP-90 boards in adjacent ISA bus slots. Make sure each board's ISA bus connector is seated securely in a slot.
    

    

  6. Connect your MVIP-90 boards to the MVIP-90 bus cable.
    

    

  7. Connect the MVIP Bus Adapter to the AG 2000 board and the MVIP-90 bus cable as described in Section 2.5.2.
    




  • Connect the AG 2000 to the H.100 bus cable.
    

    

  • If you have multiple H.100 boards, connect the H.100 bus cable to each of the H.100 boards.
    

    

  • Replace the cover, and connect the computer to its AC power source.
    

    
 
    


    • 

    

    2.5.2	 Connecting to the MVIP-90 Bus
    

    


    The MVIP Bus Adapter connects the H.100 bus to the MVIP-90 bus. This allows boards connected to the H.100 bus to access the MVIP-90 bus, and allows
    MVIP-90 boards to access the first 16 streams of the H.100 bus. When connecting to the MVIP Bus Adapter, the first 16 streams of the H.100 bus must be configured to run in MVIP-90 mode (clocked at 2 MHz). 
    


    If your system contains an AG 2000 and MVIP-90 boards, you must use the MVIP Bus Adapter. The MVIP Bus Adapter connects the MVIP-90 bus to the H.100 bus as shown in Figure 10. Only one MVIP Bus Adapter is required in a system.
    

 
    


    Figure 10.	 Connecting to the MVIP-90 Bus
    

    
 
    

    

    To connect the MVIP Bus Adapter to an AG 2000 board: 
    

      


    1. Connect the right angle connector (JP1) on the MVIP Bus Adapter to the connector (JP1) on the AG 2000 board as shown in Figure 11.
      

      

    2. Support the MVIP Bus Adapter by connecting the threaded mounting piece to the MVIP Bus Adapter and the AG 2000 board using two #4 screws.
      

      

    3. If you have multiple H.100 boards, connect the H.100 bus cable to the
      AG 2000 board and to each of the other H.100 boards.
      

      

    4. Connect the MVIP-90 bus cable to the connector on the MVIP Bus Adapter.
