3 Installation and set-up

Unpacking the board

You should take care to avoid static discharge when handling the RC200/203 board, as

this may damage it. You are recommended to use an earth strap. If an earth strap is not

available, ensure that you make contact with earth before and during handling of the

board, and only handle the board by its edges.

Connecting the cables

The board must be powered down before you attach cables. The connectors are labelled

on the board and in the

overview of connectors (see page 10).

You will need to connect the board to your PC with an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel port

cable if you want to use the Celoxica FTU2 program to download BIT files, or to read

from or write to SmartMedia memory. A cable is provided as part of the RC200/203 kit.

Switching on the power

You need a 12V DC power supply with a 2.1mm, centre-positive plug. The power supply

must be able to source at least 2A.

Peripheral devices should be connected before the RC200/203 Board is turned on.

Otherwise the devices may not function correctly.

LED D2 will light up when the power is on. This is the lower of the 2 LEDS to the left of
