About This Manual
This manual covers the installation of the HP 82324 High-Performance
Measurement Coprocessor, the HP 82325 and HP 82326 Memory Boards, and
the HP 82327 Floating-Point Unit (FPU). Please follow the procedures in this
manual, especially those given in "Handling Circuit Boards and ICs Safely,"
to obtain optimum performance and to avoid damage to your measurement
coprocessor
and memory boards.
Save this manual. You may need this manual again if you add memory or an
FPU to the measurement coprocessor, or change its configuration.
Potential for Radio and Television Interference
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with this manual, may cause interference to radio
and television reception. It has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interferenc.e will not occur in a particular installation. If you think your
computer system is causing interference,
turn off the system. If the radio or
television reception does not improve, your computer system is probably not
causing the interference. In the unlikely event that your computer system does
cause interference to radio and television reception, you are encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.
• Relocate the radio or TV antenna.
• Move the computer system away from the radio or television.
• Plug the computer system into a different electrical outlet, so that the system
and the radio or television are on separate electrical circuits.
• Make sure that all your peripheral devices comply with FCC Class B limits.
• Make sure you use only shielded cables to connect peripherals to your
computer system (except for HP-IL peripherals).
1-2 Installation

• Consult your computer dealer, Hewlett-Packard, or an experienced
radio/television technician for
other suggestions.
• Order the FCC booklet How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems from
the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
20402.
The stock number of this booklet is 004-000-00345-4.
Handling Circuit Boards and ICs Safely
Circuit boards and ICs (integrated circuits) are subject to both electrical
and mechanical damage. Be sure the computer is turned off while you are
installing or removing the measurement coprocessor. Handle the measurement
coprocessor and memory boards gently and by their edges. Avoid touching any
components on
the boards unless told to do so.
Electrostatic discharge can damage computer circuitry. It is recommended that
you wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap (available from many electronic
supply dealers) during
the installation procedure. However, if you do not have
a wrist
strap, you can discharge static electricity safely by touching the metal
surface on the back panel of your computer. Repeat this step often during the
installation procedure.
Unpacking and Inspection
If you are installing the measurement coprocessor for the first time, unpack it
as follows:
1. Remove
the measurement coprocessor (in its protective antistatic bag) from
the shipping box.
2. Following
the precautions given in the previous section, remove the
measurement coprocessor from the antistatic bag and lay it on top of the
bag, component side up.
Installation 1-3

The following figure shows the measurement coprocessor and identifies some
components
of interest:
RAM-1
RAM-2
FPU
In the figure above, the two memory-board locations ("RAM-l" and "RAM-2")
are outlined with dashed lines. Your measurement coprocessor should have at
least one memory board, installed at the factory in the RAM-llocation. (The
measurement coprocessor will not function if there is no memory board in the
RAM-llocation.) There may also be a memory board in the RAM-2 location,
depending on
the memory option you ordered. For further information about
the memory boards, refer to "Installing the Memory Boards" later in this
manual.
The figure also identifies the hardware configuration switch, SW1, which is
shown in its default configuration (all segments in
the "closed" position).
The Floating-Point Unit (FPU) mayor may not be present depending on the
options you ordered. If the FPU is not present, there will be an empty socket
for
it in the location shown in the figure.
1-4 Installation

The Hardware Configuration Switch
The hardware configuration switch (SW1) has six segments. In the factory
default configuration all six segments are set to the "closed" position, as
shown in the figure on the previous page. (That is, all six levers are in the
"straight-up" position.) For most applications, you should leave all six segments
in the default position. However, in multiple-coprocessor installations, each
measurement coprocessor
must have a separate address. If you need to
change the address of the measurement coprocessor, or if you want it to be
"non-system controller" on
the HP-IB, you will need to change the settings as
described below.
Note
If the measurement coprocessor is already installed in your
computer, you need not remove it to change the switch settings.
(SWl is accessible from the top.) Just turn off your computer,
remove
the cover, and change the settings as required.
Segments 1 and 2: Primary Address
You can select one of four primary addresses by setting segments 1 and 2 of
SWl. (The default address is 250 hexadecimal.)
Primary Segment 2 Segment 1
Address
250h Closed Closed
280h Closed Open
330h Open Closed
390h Open Open
Installation 1-5

Segments 3 and 4: Secondary Address
You can select the secondary address by setting segments 3 and 4 of SWl.
However, normally you should use the default value: o. (Refer to the
documentation for your measurement coprocessor software regarding the use of
secondary addresses.)
Secondary Segment 4 Segment 3
Address
0 Closed Closed
1 Closed Open
2 Open Closed
3 Open Open
Segment 5: Not Used
Segment 5 of SWI is not used. Its setting has no effect.
Segment 6: System Controller Status
Segment 6 of SWI determines whether the measurement coprocessor is the
system controller on the HP-IB. In the default ("closed") position, segment 6
specifies
that the measurement coprocessor is the system controller. If you set
segment 6
to the "open" position, it will be non-system controller.
