5 Installation and Start-Up
Installation of the RTC6 PCIe Board consists of the
following steps:
(1) Checking the RTC6 PCIe Board jumpers, see
Chapter 5.1 ”Checking Jumper Settings”,
page 88
(2) Hardware installation: Installing the
RTC6 PCIe Board, see Chapter 5.2 ”Installing the
RTC6 PCIe Board”, page 88
(3) Installing the RTC6 board driver, see Chapter 5.3
”Installing the RTC6 Board Driver”, page 89
(1)
(4) Installing the RTC6 software, see Chapter 5.4
”Installing the RTC6 Software”, page 90
(5) When turning on the laser system, observe the
safe start-up sequence, see Chapter 5.6 ”Safe
Start-up and Shutdown Sequences”, page 91
(6) For conducting a post-installation functionality
test, for example, the included HPGL converter
program can be used, see Chapter 5.7
”Functionality Test”, page 92
5.1 Checking Jumper Settings
SCANLAB ships RTC6 PCIe Boards in various jumper
configurations.
(1) Make sure that the to-be-installed
RTC6 PCIe Board has the required jumper
configuration. If you need to change the factory
settings, proceed as described in Chapter 2.7
”Jumper Settings and Type Designations”,
page 40.
(2) Proceed with Chapter 5.2 ”Installing the
RTC6 PCIe Board”, page 88.
5.2 Installing the
RTC6 PCIe Board
Perform the following steps to install the
RTC6 PCIe Board in a PC:
(1) Remove all data media from your PC.
(2) Shut down the operating system and switch off
the PC. Disconnect the PC from the mains.
(3) Disconnect all peripherals (for example, monitor,
mouse, keyboard, printer etc.) from the PC.
(4) Place the PC on a work table that complies with
ESD directives.
(5) Remove the housing of the PC. Locate a free PCIe
slot and remove the slot cover. A height from the
slot connector’s top of at least 105 mm is
required.
(6) Remove the RTC6 PCIe Board from the antistatic
bag. Do not touch the contacts of the board.
(1) Step 3 does not apply to RTC6 Ethernet Boards.
Notice!
• Store the board in an electrostatically neutral
environment using the supplied anti-static bag.
• Carry out the installation in an area that
complies with Electro Static Discharge (ESD)
directives. When installing the board, observe
the instructions given in the instruction for use
of the PC.
• Do not touch the contacts of the board.
• Protect the board from humidity, dust, corrosive
vapors and mechanical stress.
