Installation
CAUTION: As with all computer equipment, the Am186CC
microcontroller router reference design may be damaged by
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Please take proper ESD
precautions when handling any board.
1. Remove the board from the shipping carton. Visually inspect the board to verify
that it was not damaged during shipment. Connect the reference design’s
DB-9 high speed serial port to an available COM port. Use the serial cable
included in the Am186CC microcontroller router reference design kit and note
that a DB-9 to DB-25 serial connector adapter is provided if your host system
requires it.
2. Connect the power supply to the barrel connector (connector P6 at location
A-8 in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3) at the corner of the Am186CC microcontroller
router reference design board.
