Titan/cPCI Installation Overview
There are two main stages in the installation process for your Titan/cPCI product:
1. Hardware Installation
This involves the physical connection of the Titan/cPCI hardware to your system.
2. Software Installation and Configuration of Titan/cPCI
This step installs and configures the Titan/cPCI drivers and allows you to set parameters
specific to your serial requirements.
Hardware Installation
Connecting the Titan/cPCI to your System
Before you begin, take a minute to ensure that your package includes the required components
that should have shipped with your Titan/cPCI:
•
Titan/cPCI adapter and/or Titan/cPCI Rear I/O adapter (if applicable)
•
Cable harness (optional with four-port models only)
•
Titan/cPCI device drivers
•

If any of these components is missing, contact Connect Tech

reseller.
Please read before you install your Titan/cPCI
Some Titan/cPCI cards are designed with rear I/O capabilities.
These are 32-bit cards. The Titan/cPCI cards with rear I/O
capabilities are NOT designed for use in 64-bit backplanes. Using
these Titan/cPCI cards in a 64-bit backplane may damage the card
and/or your equipment.
If you are uncertain whether the cPCI slots in your backplane
support 32 or 64-bit cards, please consult your equipment manual
or manufacturer.
Non-rear I/O versions of the Titan/cPCI cards are available (TN004
and TN007 for example). Please contact [e-mail]
for more details or [e-mail] if you have any
questions.
