EPC-100 Hardware Reference 2-1
Chapter 2 - Installation
Introduction
This chapter tells you how to install the EPC-100 in a Compact PCI (cPCI) chassis.
There are three user-configurable jumpers. One enables/disables the CPU fan failure
test during Power On Self-test (POST). The second enables/disables the SCSI
termination, so that the EPC-100 can be used as any element in a SCSI daisy-chain.
The third jumper determines whether an external floppy disk drive will be powered
by the on-board floppy drive connector or not. These jumpers are described in
Appendix C- Connectors and Jumpers.
You will also need to install device drivers for the SVGA video adapter and the
Ethernet adapter. These procedures are described in System Software Installation in
this chapter.
All other setup is done by configuring BIOS options as described in Chapter 3 -
BIOS Configuration.

!
DO NOT REMOVE THE EPC-100 MODULE FROM ITS ANTI-STATIC
BAG UNLESS YOU ARE IN A STATIC
-FREE ENVIRONMENT.
The EPC-100, like most electronic devices, is 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.

The EPC-100 is not designed to be inserted or removed while the chassis is
powered up.
