1Preparation and Installation 1 Introduction This chapter provides a brief description of the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module and explains how to install the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module onto a host module, such as a single-board computer (SBC) or carrier card, and how to connect the PMC to the network. ! Caution When you add PMCs to your system, verify that the combined power (wattage) required for the PMCs does not exceed the system’s power supply rating.
1 Gigabit Ethernet Technology FD ACT 10 100 1000 ENET Figure 1-1. PMC/Gigabit Ethernet/82543 Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Base-T) is a technology that can be integrated into current 10 and 100 Base-T local area networks (LANs) and allow them to upgrade easily to 1000 Mb/s. Gigabit Ethernet provides higher bandwidth without a major change in infrastructure and is supported on major platforms.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology High Performance In workgroup environments, Gigabit Ethernet can handle combined demands of multiple LAN users and the peak traffic created by highperformance PCs and sophisticated applications that require significant bandwidth. Standards-Based Technology The standard for Gigabit Ethernet technology is set by the IEEE 802.3 Committee, the same committee that developed the original Ethernet standard and the Fast Ethernet standard.
1 System Enclosure Managers can rely on familiar network analysis tools and procedures in 10/100/1000 Base-T environments. Administrative information translates easily from prior Ethernet implementations to 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks, which means minimal retraining of Management Information Service (MIS) support staff. Administrators and system integrators already know the technology, cabling, protocols, and software.
Guidelines for Unpacking accommodate a slightly wider board assembly into each slot. For more information refer to the PMC specification, as referenced in Appendix C, Related Documents. Guidelines for Unpacking If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment. When unpacking, avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage circuits.
1 Equipment Required place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any surface. If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
Before You Install or Remove a Board place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any surface. If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
1 Before You Install or Remove a Board Use Caution When Installing or Removing Boards When first installing boards in an empty chassis, we recommend that you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right when cards are vertically aligned; in horizontally aligned cages, work from bottom to top. When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the boards.
Before You Install or Remove a Board If your system is using software that provides full hot swap capabilities, the software will illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the faceplate when software has stopped and it is safe to remove the board. If your system does not have hot-swap aware software running, behavior of the blue LED may be indeterminate. In this case, you may need to manually shut down applications or operating systems running on the board prior to board removal, even if the blue LED is lit.
1 Before You Install or Remove a Board A B C Figure 1-2. Injector/Ejector Lever Types Each lever type has a latching mechanism to prevent the lever from being opened accidentally. You must press the lever release before you can open the lever. Never force the lever. If the lever does not open easily, you may not have pressed firmly enough on the release. If the lever does not close easily, the board may not be properly seated in the chassis.
Installation and Removal Installation and Removal The following instructions tell how to install or replace the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module on a typical host board. Installation of Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module on a Host Board To install a Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module on a host board (either SBC or carrier card), refer to the Figure 1-3 on page 1-12, read all cautions and warnings and perform the following steps.
1 Installation and Removal equipment attached to the rear transition board may occur. Therefore, only install and use the PMC module together with the Embedded Communications Computing’s carrier card. 1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to the chassis as a ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure. PMC Connectors Front Panel PMC cutout Screws Figure 1-3.
Installation and Removal 5. Remove the screws from the stand-offs on the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module. 6. Identify the PMC slot on the carrier card and insert the PMC's bezel into the cutout on the front panel of the host module, as shown in Figure 1-3 on page 1-12. 7. Align the PMC module over the PMC slot connectors: P11, P12 and P13. Carefully press the PMC module into connectors. Ensure that standoffs of the module are seated into the mounting holes of the host board. 8.
1 Installation and Removal ! Caution Insert the board by gently holding the injector levers - do not exert unnecessary pressure on the faceplate. Hot swap compliant modules may be installed while the system is powered on. If a module is not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before installing the module. See Understand Hot Swap on page 1-8 for more information. Refer to the Figure 1-4 and perform these steps when installing modules.
Installation and Removal Continue to gently push until the prealignment guide pegs engage with the backplane connector (Stage 2) and the injector levers make contact with the chassis rails. DO NOT FORCE THE BOARD INTO THE BACKPLANE SLOT. 4. Use the injector levers to seat the module in the slot by closing the levers until they latch into the locked position (Stage 3). If the levers do not completely latch, remove the module from the chassis and visually inspect the slot to ensure there are no bent pins.
1 Installation and Removal P M C 2 FD ACT 10 Speed/Status LEDs RJ-45 Connector 100 P M C 1 1000 ENET Ethernet Cable Figure 1-5. Connecting to the Network 2. Observe the appropriate green speed/status LED. The 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s LED lights and stays lit when the PMC is connected to the network properly. 3.
Installation and Removal Note: Auto-negotiation for speed and duplex is the default behavior for most network devices that support it. However, to ensure that you know how your network ports are operating, you should configure them explicitly for the correct speed and duplex for the connected device.
1 Installation and Removal 3. Carefully remove the host module from its card slot and place it on a clean and adequately protected working surface (preferably an ESD mat) with the secondary side of the board facing up. 4. Remove the four screws from the holes in the host board that fasten the Gigabit Ethernet/82543 PMC Module module to the host board. 5. Carefully turn the host board to the primary side and place on your working surface.
