2.3. Installing the Software for Linux
Please refer to the README file in the /Linux folder of the Software CD-ROM for detailed instructions on how to
install the software for Linux systems.
2.4. Installing the Hardware
1. Turn off the power of the PC and the crate in the case of a CompactPCI module.
CAUTION: For PCI modules the PC may have to be unplugged to ensure that the PCI bus has no power
available. However, CompactPCI crates can be left plugged in since this ensures proper
grounding.
CAUTION: Touch the antistatic package to a grounded object before removing the card from the package.
Electrostatic discharge may damage the card.
Be sure to ground yourself by touching the grounded frame and avoid touching any
components on the card.
2. Module in a PC: open the PC, identify a free PCI slot and carefully insert the card into it. Make sure that the
grounding of the card’s mounting bracket to the back panel rail of the computer is done correctly. If present
make sure that the fan's adjustable retainer is correctly positioned and tightened for mechanical support.
Close the PC.
Module in a CompactPCI crate: Follow the instructions of the crate manufacturer to insert the card into a
free CompactPCI peripheral slot. Be sure to tighten both front panel mounting screws to lock the module
into place and insure proper grounding of the frame.
NOTE: To ensure the best possible performance, users of Agilent CC121 Crates with AS bus systems
should respect the module placement rules to be found in the Agilent Acqiris 21-slot CompactPCI Crate
User Manual.
PCI Bus extension module in a PC: Consult the manufacturer's documentation for any special instructions.
Open the PC, identify a free PCI slot and carefully insert the card into it. Make sure that the grounding of
the card’s mounting bracket to the back panel rail of the computer is done correctly. Close the PC. Connect
the module to the CompactPCI crate controller.
3. Turn on the power of the crate(s), if present, and then the PC and start the operating system.
NOTE: Agilent Acqiris digitizers are equipped with a LED. If this LED is not glowing orange or red when the
power is applied there is a severe problem. Either the module is broken or the necessary voltages for its use are
not available.
NOTE: For proper system operation when using the IC200, IC414, or other PCI extension interface to connect
a CC10X crate to a remote PC, the crate must be powered on before the PC in order for the PC BIOS to
recognize the presence of the CompactPCI crate.
2.5. Uninstalling devices under Windows
In the Device Manager, select the instrument to be uninstalled. Choose “Uninstall” from the “Action” menu. After all
desired instruments have been uninstalled select “Scan for hardware changes” from the “Action” menu, or reboot the
computer. Note that only those devices that are actually physically present are visible in the Device Manager.
