1. INTRODUCTION
The Gig-cPCI-3U and Gig-cPCI-3U Switch family of network adapter cards and
switches are high-performance, cost-effective solutions for adding Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity to any embedded or real-time network appliance or network access device
which has available slots in their 3U cPCI based systems.

8. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Before attempting to install the card into your system, please make sure of the following:
Shut off the power to the computer and any peripherals. It is important to remove the
power cable to the computer to reduce the possibility of residual power remaining in
the power supply.
Ground yourself. Many electronic components inside computer and on the card can be
severely damaged by receiving a shock of static electricity. Before touching any
electronic components or boards, discharge any static electricity on your body by
touching the bare metal case around the power supply inside your computer. Avoid
excessive movement during the installation, such as walking across carpets, as this can
generate static. If you must leave the installation area before the installation is
complete, be sure to ground yourself again before continuing the installation.

8.1 EMBEDDED OR COMPACT PCI INSTALLATION
There are many different styles and types of Embedded System platforms that utilize 3U
CPCI expansion slots. This section contains a generic installation procedure. Please
refer to your User's manual for more detailed instructions on installing the adapter in an
Embedded or CompactPCI system.
Step 1 - Shut down the power to the computer system and remove the power cord and
any peripheral cables.
Step 2 - Align the CPCI connectors and the CPCI SBC or carrier connectors and push
slide in to connectors mate. Once mated, press down firmly on the 3U CPCI card until it
is completely seated in the connectors on the CPCI backplane. Re-attach the power
cable and any other cables that were removed for the hardware installation procedure.

Connecting Fiber optic Model C5261-LC, C5262-LC, C5263-SFP
This section explains how to connect the fiber cards to the external network using
standard fiber optic cables. Typically 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cables with
LC or SC type connectors are used depending on the connector option. For extended
distance, single-mode fiber can be used in models equipped with extended range
single-mode connectors.
Insert the fiber optic cable into the SC or LC type connector until the self-locking tab
clicks into position. Connect the opposite end in to a 1000 Base SX switch. Two types of
cables are used when connecting the fiber cards to the network. A workstation or
"straight through" cable is typically used to connect Ethernet adapters to switches. A
fiber “crossover” cable may also be used to connect controllers back-to-back. This
configuration is useful for loopback and/or diagnostic purposes or when a switch is not
available.

Connecting Copper RJ-45 Models C5261-RJ, C5262-RJ, C5164, C5468,
C5263-SFP (copper models)
This section explains how to connect the adapter cards to the external network using
the standard Category 5e, 5e or 6 cables. The maximum cable length is typically 100
meters or 328 feet.
Insert the Category 5e cable into the RJ-45 connector until the self-locking tab clicks
into position. Connect the opposite end in to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Base T switch.
Two types of cables are used when connecting the adapter cards to the network. A
workstation or "straight through" cable is typically used to connect Ethernet adapters to
switches. A “crossover” cable may also be used to connect controllers back-to-back.
This configuration is useful for diagnostic purposes or when a hub or switch is not
available. However, it is not recommended for extended use, as it violates the IEEE
specification for 10 Mbit, 100 Mbit and 1000 Mbit Ethernet networks.
Note(1): Models C5164, C5264, C5261-RJ, C5262-RJ and C5468 support “auto-MDIX”
mode where a crossover cable is not required when directly attaching two controllers.
Note(2):Cables used for Gigabit networks must use all 8 wires. In 10 and 100 modes,
wires are dedicated for transmit or receive while in Gigabit mode, data is transmitted
and received over all 4-pairs.

10. SOFTWARE DRIVER INSTALLATION
The following sections explain how to install the driver software in VxWorks, and Linux
based systems.
10.1 LINUX DRIVER INSTALLATION AND USAGE
These instructions assume that you are running Red Hat Linux 7.x, 8.x, 9.x or a similar
Linux OS. You should be using at least a kernel version 2.4.18 installation for any other
Red Hat-based system will be similar. For other Linux based systems, the location of
some files may be slightly different.
Building the driver
To build the driver, copy the driver files to an appropriate directory. You will need to
make sure your CD is mounted.
$ mkdir dpm
$ cd dpm
$ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux-dpm-driver/dpm/dpm*.tar.gz .
$ gunzip dpm*.tar.gz
$ tar vxf dpm*.tar
To create a new driver object module:
$ make clean
$ make
Repeat same procedure with driver utility directory as follows:
