Appendix C: Using the
EPC7-AM
CC
The EPC7-AM is a factory-installed option which bolts to the right side of the EPC-7
and occupies an additional VXI slot (3 slots total). It is designed to allow the addition
of one PC add-in card for use with the EPC-7 controller. In addition, it also provides
a second front-panel serial port connector (COM2).
The EPC7-AM supports all types of PC (8 bit) and PC/AT (16 bit) add-in cards
except bus masters that require taking over control of the ATbus (e.g., some high
performance disk controllers).
Installing a PC Add-In Card
Installation of an add-in card is simple. Follow the instructions below.
 MAKE SURE THAT THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE DESCRIBED HERE IS
PERFORMED IN A STATIC-FREE ENVIRONMENT.
Do not remove any modules from their anti-static bags unless you are in a static-free
environment. The EPC-7 and EPC7-AM modules, like most other electronic devices,
are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. ESD damage is not always
immediately obvious. It can cause a partial breakdown in semiconductor devices that
might not result in immediate failure.
