HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The ZT 6650 is designed to plug into a CompactPCI card cage. Steps for installing the ZT 6650
board are as follows:
1. Turn off the power to the CompactPCI card cage.
2. Insert the ZT 6650 into the card cage up to the extraction lever. Make sure you are putting the
ZT 6650 into a bus slot that supports a bus master device. These are generally slots 2 through 6.
3. Pull up on the ZT 6650 until the connector seats.
4. Connect the Ethernet Category 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the front plate.
5. Power up the system.
6. On the ZT 97123-100 driver diskette provided with the board, refer to the INSTALL.DOC file
appropriate to your operating system and load the appropriate drivers. Default drivers from
Windows® 95, Windows NT™ and possibly other operating systems will not work with the
ZT 6650. Use the drivers on the ZT 97123-100 diskette.
7. Configure your system using the network driver appropriate to your operating system. (This
manual cannot cover all the possible network configurations in which the ZT 6650 may be used).
Connectors
As shown in the "Connector Locations" drawing, the ZT 6650 includes two connectors to interface to
application-specific devices. The "Connector Assignments" table below pairs each connector with its
function.

J2 RJ-45 connector
Jumpers
Since the ZT 6650 uses the PCI bus, which supports plug-and-play configuration, there are no
jumper options for the board.
SOFTWARE DRIVER PACKAGE
A software driver installation package is available (ZT 97121-100) to support DOS, Windows 3.1,
Windows 95, and Windows NT users. A QNX® driver will be available soon. Contact QNX for more
information.
