APOLLO 1U ICE Internal configuration PCI Card Module This section explains how to remove the PCI Module and fit a PCI card.
APOLLO 1U ICE Internal configuration Remove any cables attached to installed PCI expansion cards before attempting removal of the PCI module. To remove the PCI Module, follow these steps: 1 Unplug the flexible riser connection to the APOLLO SBC. Take care to pull on the plug-in connector rather than the flexible cable. 2 Disconnect the tamper detect cable from front panel breakout board assembly. The PCI module is retained in the enclosure by formed lugs on the base, and one retaining screw.
APOLLO 1U ICE Internal configuration Tamper detect switch The tamper detect feature is triggered by the opening and closing of the lid. It is affected by a switch mounted on the PCI module: Tamper detect switch A tamper detection input is included within the real time clock circuitry of the APOLLO that operates in all power modes. The status of the tamper detection bit is battery backed in static RAM. Using a normally open switch, a tamper is detected when the switch contacts close.
APOLLO 1U ICE Internal configuration User status/display and navigation buttons The LCD offers 2 x 24 character visibility with white lettering on an illuminated blue background. The Front Panel Interface enables connection to the front navigation/input switches and the three user-defined LEDs.
APOLLO 1U ICE Internal configuration The following images illustrate how you insert the LED ident strip: The LED ident strip can be reversed for writing legends, or discarded and a printed card inserted in the open slot. Control of the character display, LEDs and navigation keys is implemented using drivers supplied by Eurotech Ltd. These functions are fully programmable and are available as user-defined controls for OEM customers. Drivers are available for Windows XP and Linux.
