Checking the System
Requirements
Before installing dSPACE’s hardware, you have to check whether your
hardware meets the system requirements.
Host PC Your host PC must fulfill the system requirements concerning:
■ The dSPACE software and other required third-party software,
■ The hardware equipment.
The hardware requirements depend on whether you want to install
the DS1103 in the host PC or in the expansion box. In the latter
case, your host PC must fulfill the requirements for the hardware
which is needed for connecting the host PC and the expansion
box.
For details, refer to Checking the System Requirements in the dSPACE
Software Installation and Management Guide.
Expansion box If you want to install the DS1103 in an expansion box, the box must
fulfill the following requirements.
Required slots You need one free full-size ISA slot and two free
adjacent brackets (refer to the illustration in How to Install dSPACE
Boards on page 40). In addition, one free full-size ISA slot is required
by the DS814 (bus connection) or the slot CPU (Ethernet connection).
Bus interface If you want to connect the expansion box to the
host PC via a bus interface, the DS814 has to be installed in the box.
A suitable dSPACE link board has to be installed in the host PC.
Slot CPU If you want to connect the expansion box to the host PC
via Ethernet, a slot CPU has to be installed in the box.
Keep in mind that the host PC requires a network adapter to establish
an Ethernet communication.
