UNPACKING
The major components
of
the Series 90/90HV are packaged in foam-packed shipping cartons.
Carefully unpack the components, and set the containers aside for future use. Visually inspect
each component for damage or deficiency. Record any deficiencies and report them
to
Cablescan. In the event the equipment has been damaged as a result
of
shipping, notify the
carrier and Cablescan immediately.
The Series 90/90HV will consist
of
a minimum
of
three containers:
1.
System Controller
2.
Expansion Cabinet
3.
Keyboard, VGA Color Monitor, and Manuals
Depending on the capability ordered, there may
be
other containers for additional expansion
cabinets. The optional printer is also shipped in an individual container.
POWER CONNECTION
Before applying power
to
the Series 90/90HV, make sure that the operating voltage
is
correct and
the unit
is
properly grounded (see GROUNDING THE UNIT, below). For changing voltage
settings see CHANGING POWER SETTING, below.
POWER
CORDS
All power cords are supplied with North American type plugs. The plug ends must be replaced
for countries with another standard. To help make the change easier, the power cord wires are
coded with the International color code standard. A translation table for the North American and
International color code standards
is
provided below.

CONNECTION PROCEDURE
Arrange the Series 90/90HV with the system controller alongside the expansion cabinet.
Connect the power cords as shown in Figure
1,
and as described below:
1.
Connect a power cord (part number 9200016) from the INPUT power connector
(male) on the rear panel
of
the expansion cabinet to an AC receptacle.
2.
Connect the jumper power cord (part number 9200067) from the female receptacle
on the far left
of
the expansion cabinet to the INPUT power connector (male) on the
system controller. The female receptacle on the expansion cabinet is controlled by
the power switch on the front panel. By connecting the system controller to the
expansion cabinet and leaving the system controller's power switch on, both units
can
be
switched on using the expansion cabinet On/Offswitch.
3.
Connect a second power cord (part number 9200016) from the INPUT power
connector (male) on the color monitor to an
AC
receptacle. (The color monitor may
have an attached cord.)
GROUNDING
THE
UNIT
Each component
of
the Series 90/90HV is shipped with a three-wire grounded cable. When the
cable is connected to a three-wire (grounded) receptacle, it connects the chassis
of
the unit to
ground.
WARNING
Continuity
of
the
grounding circuit
is
vital for the safe operation
of
the
units. Never operate the Series 90/90HV through
an
ungrounded
connector,
or
with the grounding conductors disconnected.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
There are two 0.5-amp fuses in the Series 90; both are in the expansion cabinet. See Figure
3.
One fuse is internal and is mounted on the power supply board. On the standard Series 90 the
second fuse is an in-line fuse between the lamp power connector on the rear panel and the power
supply. On the Series 90HV the second fuse is on the rear panel and is marked Lamp Fuse.
Series 90 Only
1.
To gain access to the power supply remove the back panel
of
the expansion cabinet,
and the four screws on the bottom
of
the cabinet nearest the sides.
2. Slide the top cover forward until it
just
clears the front
of
the unit. Do not over-
extend the cover, since the front panel switch is wired to the main chassis.
3.
Reach up and disconnect the switch harness, then fully remove the cover.
4. Locate the power supply and fuses on the front
of
the card cage assembly. Use
replacement fuses with the same rating as the ones installed. (Replacing the fuse
with a higher rated fuse can cause permanent damage to the power supply, scanner
control boards, and scanner boards.)

SYSTEM SETUP
CONTROLLER
The rear panel
of
the system controller has eight vertical slots. They are numbered 1 through 8
starting at the right side when facing the rear panel. See Figure
4.
The standard system
controller contains interface and control boards that occupy four
of
the eight slots:
Slot 1 - Expansion Input/Output board (has interfaces for expansion cabinet and
optional remote control head).
Slot 2 - I5-pin female D-type connector for remote control signals.
Slot 5 - VGA Color Monitor Adapter (has interface for color monitor).
Slot 7 - Floppy/Hard Disk Controller SeriallParallel Interface Board.
-
••
The remaining slots are covered with blank panels. (Additional boards may be installed in these
four slots for special applications.)
NOTE
Make sure that all interface cables
are
secured with their
mounting screws. The most common source of trouble
is
poor
connections.

SCANNER BOARDS
Scanner boards are added to the expansion cabinet to increase test point capacity.
To
add a
scanner board to an expansion cabinet, turn
off
power and disconnect the power cord. (Power
should be shut offon the entire system.) On a 9-card cabinet, remove the rear panel. On a 32-
card cabinet, the rear panel is split into two halves; remove the panel on the side where the
scanner board will be installed. All scanner boards must be installed consecutively in the card
cage without skipping one. As shown in Figure
7,
scanner boards are installed from the bottom
left and inserted from the bottom up. When the top slot is filled, the next board is inserted into
the right hand column starting at the bottom and continuing toward the top.
If
more capacity is
needed after the last slot has been filled, a new cabinet must be added.
START HERE AND WORK UP
WHEN TOP RIGHT SLOT
IS FILLED, A NEW
CABINET CAN BE LOADED.
WHEN TOP LEFT SLOT
IS
FILLED, START HERE
TO
FILL RIGHT SLOTS

SCANNER
BOARD JUMPERS
Each low-voltage scanner board requires a jumper to be installed for configuration. See Figure
8.
(The high-voltage scanner boards do not have jumpers.) As illustrated, the jumper is installed
across two pins
of
a three-pin connector located on the component side, opposite the test point
connectors. This jumper can be installed in one
of
two locations on the three-pin connector.
Each scanner board, except for the last board in the cabinet, must have a jumper connecting the
center pin to the pin toward the center
of
the board. On the last board, move the jumper so that
the center pin and the pin toward the outside
of
the board are jumpered. This pin is labeled
LAST SCANNER BOARD. When multiple expansion cabinets are required, the last board
of
each cabinet must be jumpered as the last board.

CONFIGURATION
Discussion
The system controller CPU has a battery-backed RAM memory that maintains setup information.
This information includes disk drive types, amount
of
installed memory, and display type.
During power on, the firmware on the CPU verifies the RAM contents and reports configuration
errors
if
any
of
the information has been lost.
If
a configuration or boot error is displayed, a
setup program must be run. On 286 based systems, a setup program supplied on the DOS Install
diskette must be run. On 386 and 80486 based systems, the setup program is in the BIOS ROM
on the CPU. The setup program also must be run when memory is added to the CPU or when
disk drive types are changed. Configuration information for various Series 90 systems by serial
number is provided below:
