3.3 Hardware Configuration
11. If you will be using an IDE hard drive, attach your IDE cable to connector
J28 in the proper orientation and install your hard drive. The disk
should be configured as the primary device on the IDE bus. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for setting up the hard drive.
12. If you plan to use your EB164 on a network, install the Ethernet controller
board (DE435) in one of the PCI connectors as outlined in the DE435
documentation.
13. Install the graphics card into either a PCI or ISA connector, depending on
the card you are using. Connect the graphics card to a compatible monitor
following the graphics card manufacturer’s instructions.
14. Connect the keyboard cable to connector J32.
15. Connect the mouse cable to connector J34.
16. Connect the 9-pin serial port adapter cable, provided in the kit, to the
COM1 connector at J27. Insert the connector in the proper orientation, so
that pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the board header (as indicated on
the module).
17. Connect your terminal to the COM1 port, using a cable arrangement
appropriate to your terminal. Set the terminal to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity.
18. Connect miscellaneous items such as, enclosure fans, reset button, speaker,
power indicator, hard drive active indicator (if using an IDE drive),
keyboard lock switch, and so forth.
3.4 Software Configuration
Two firmware programs have been loaded into the EB164 1MB flash ROM.
They are the debug monitor and the Windows NT ARC firmware. The debug
monitor is a serial line monitor program used to perform software and
hardware debug functions. The Windows NT ARC firmware is used to load and
boot Windows NT. The EB164 system has been configured to start the Windows
NT ARC firmware by default.
The serial ROM firmware uses a value stored in the nonvolatile RAM of the
real-time clock to determine which firmware image to load. Once the Windows
NT ARC firmware is running, you can switch to the debug monitor firmware.
