Checking The

Hardware

It’s a good idea to check all of your hardware thoroughly before you

get to your installation site. Unpack all of the equipment and make

sure that there has been no damage during shipping; then test each

piece individually to make sure it operates correctly. Use the .

following list as a general guideline for pre-installation testing.

Check the power supply voltages of both the main cabinet and

expansion cabinet’s power supply. Refer to

IMI66-085

for the

correct power supply voltages.

Once you know that the power supply voltages are correct,

slide the power supply into its location and plug it in. You can

now begin installing and testing your boards. All of the boards

are shipped in static-safe bags. Make sure you are in a

static-safe area and wearing a static-discharge wrist strap

before you handle any of the boards or cards.

Visually inspect each board when you take it out of the box to

make sure there are no visible defects and to make sure you

have the correct board.

Begin testing with the CPU and Services board (the RAM and

software cards must be installed). When testing the CPU

board, make sure that DIP switch 8 is in the “on” position.

With both boards inserted and seated properly, turn on the

power supply and watch the LED on each board: Remember

that many of the boards have a different LED flash rate to

indicate proper operation.

Read Section One of this manual for LED light indications. It’s

a good idea to test all of the boards in the actual slots where

they will be installed, if for no other reason than to make sure

you have planned the configuration accurately. By testing all

of the boards, you also make sure that each of the

DXP’s

slots

is fully functional.
