Installing and configuring the RTM
This explains how to install the EPC-3305 in a CompactPCI chassis.
Inserting the RTM
To insert the EPC-3305 RTM on the PCIbus backplane.
1. Ensure that power to your CompactPCI system is off, or that the CPU card is
removed from the front of the chassis.
2. Ensure that the ejector handles are in the normal (non-eject) position. (Push the
top handle down and the bottom handle up so that the handles are not tilted.)
3. Slide the RTM into the slot. Use firm pressure on the handles to mate the
module with the connectors.
4. Tighten the retaining screws in the top and bottom of the front panel to ensure
proper connector mating and prevent the module from loosening due to
vibration.
5. Connect peripherals to the RTM, if needed. Periperals typically include a
keyboard, but also perhaps a mouse, modem, printer, and so on. For
information about front-panel connector pinouts, see Appendix C, Connectors.
6. Complete remaining steps as required. Typical remaining steps include:
• BIOS configuration (For information about setting up the BIOS
configuration, see Chapter 3, BIOS configuration)
• Driver software installation
• Application software installation
Your system may be preconfigured by your supplier or you may be required to
perform these tasks yourself.

When handling or inserting the EPC-3305, avoid touching the circuit
board and connector pins, and ensure that the environment is static-free.
Observe the following while the system is powered up:
Do not plug cables or connectors into the front panel connectors.
Because electronics equipment generally cannot withstand fluctuations in
power, damage can arise from plugging in a device or board while power
is on.
Do not plug in a serial or parallel device, keyboard, transceiver, monitor
or other component. This applies to equipment at either end of an
interface cable.
