Installing Bus Controllers in a BOS System
All BOS Systems contain a passive ISA compatible backplane consisting of 1 group of 2 slots and 4 groups of 1 slot, for a total of 6 slots. (A group consists of a single ISA backplane slot, or ISA backplane slots electrically connected together.)
The groups are identified as group "1", group "2", etc. on the rear panel silkscreen.
When installing a Cubix BC Series processor, the BC Series board should be installed in the lowermost slot of a multislot group.
* Bus controllers equipped with a 486 DX2/66 processor must have a heat sink installed on the IC. This may limit the usefulness of the adjacent slot. Contact Cubix Customer Service Support System for assistance.
Installation/Replacement Instructions:
1. Turn off AC power. Remove AC power cord.
2. Remove the cover from the unit.
3. Disconnect the 40-pin ribbon cable (hard disk drive data cable) from the top edge of the BC processor being replaced.
4. Disconnect the 34 and 26 pin ribbon cables (floppy disk drive data and Video/keyboard cables) from the processor being replaced.
5. If replacing an existing BC Series processor, disengage the retaining screw from the BC end bracket and remove the BC board.
6. If adding a new BC Series processor, disengage the screw securing the blank end bracket from the rear I/O panel in line with the vacant slot desired. Remove the end bracket.
7. Install one Cubix BC Series bus controller board into each group as desired. Secure each board with the screw located in the end bracket.
8. Connect the cables between the BC Series board and the multiplexor panel. The multiplexor panel connectors are documented in Appendix F of this manual; the BC Series connectors are defined in the documentation provided with the BC Series processor.
9. Verify that a monitor and keyboard are connected to the BOS multiplexor. Reconnect AC power cord. Turn on AC power.
10. Run the setup program on each BC Series processor. Refer to the setup documentation provided with the BC board.
