30 | SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide
SmartBits Minimum Requirements
• A SmartBits 600x/6000x chassis (with one or more ordered modules, card panels, and
firmware installed).
• Chassis firmware version 2.60 or higher.
• SmartWindow, SmartLibrary, or SmartApplications (supplied and to be installed on
the PC that is connected to the SmartBits chassis). Use these applications to configure
SmartBits to test your device.
Note: SmartBits systems can be controlled by using the various SmartBits Windows-
based applications (including SmartWindow and SmartApplications) or by using
SmartBits applications that support both Windows and UNIX (including SmartLibrary).
For details regarding each of these application's specific PC/workstation memory and
operating system requirements, refer to the Release Notes shipped with each software
product.
Procedure 2: Check the Chassis and Package
Review the contents of the SmartBits package and follow these important guidelines if
you are rearranging any modules in the chassis.
Checking the SmartBits Package
The following standard items are shipped with each SmartBits chassis. Check your
package to ensure you have received all of the items listed here:
• A SmartBits 600x/6000x chassis (with two or more ordered modules, with card panels
and firmware installed).
• Cable Kit 620-5000-003, which includes:
• One black power cord, either domestic or European.
• One white 10 ft. (3.048 m.) crossover Ethernet LAN cable (RJ-45); used to
connect the SmartBits chassis directly to a PC.
• One blue 10 ft. (3.048 m.) straight-through Ethernet LAN cable (RJ-45); used to
connect SmartBits chassis to a LAN.
• One purple 3 ft. (.9144 m.) straight-through Ethernet LAN cable (RJ-45); used to
connect one SmartBits chassis to another SmartBits chassis.
• One DB9-to-DB9 cable; used to connect the SmartBits auxiliary serial port to a
PC serial port when setting the first-time IP address of the SmartBits chassis.
• Two DB9-to-DB25 adapters; if using the optional serial port cable connection.
• One Ferrite block; connects onto the Ethernet cable that attaches the SmartBits
chassis to your network or a hub. The ferrite block reduces potential EMI
interference.
