Installing the Vanguard 100 PC
Installation of the Vanguard 100 PC requires opening and manipulating your PC
hardware. Exercise caution at all times when working with AC-powered
equipment. Turn off and unplug your PC before installation.
Static electricity discharge can severely damage your Vanguard 100 PC or
equipment. Discharge any static electric charge from your body by touching
any metal surface. It is also recommended that you attach a grounding strap,
or similar device, while you are working with the equipment. Please consult a
professional if you are uncertain about working with this equipment.
IMPORTANT: Before installation, consult the reference manual that came with your
computer to locate the PC's internal expansion slots. Read additional
information in the computer manual regarding specific instructions on
using the expansion slots before installation.

Step Action
1 If you will be running in Plug-and-Play mode (see the "ISA/Plug-and-
Play Mode" section on page -11), skip to Step 3. If you will be running
in ISA mode, determine a COM port and IRQ that is not already
assigned in your computer. This can be done using a hardware
diagnostics application such as MSDOS' MSD utility.
2 If you need to set a different COM and/or IRQ than the default,
reconfigure your Vanguard 100 PC according to the directions given in
the "COM Port and Interrupt Settings" section on page -12.
Note: The Vanguard 100 PC is shipped set to COM 4 and IRQ 3.
3 If you have ordered an optional DIM or daughtercard, install it on the
Vanguard 100 PC according to the directions given in Chapter 3,
Optional Hardware Installation.
4 Ensure that the Control Port (CP) switch on the Vanguard is set to the
ENABLED position to allow you to access the Control Port when the
PC starts up. (See Figure 1-8 for the location of this switch.) See
Chapter 4, Software Configuration and Control Port Access, for more
information about accessing your Control Port.
Note: This step is only necessary if the default configuration is different
from your desired configuration.
5 Turn off the computer and unplug it from the AC outlet.
6 Remove your computer's cover. (Refer to your PC User's Guide.)
7 Select any available, full and unobstructed ISA or VESA slot and
remove the blanking panel.
Note:If you have installed an optional daughtercard, you must install
the Vanguard 100 PC in 2 consecutive slots in the PC. Therefore, you
must remove the blanking panels from both slots, but the second ISA
connector will not be used.
8 Carefully slide the Vanguard 100 PC into the slot(s) you have chosen,
applying even pressure until the card is completely seated in the
connector and aligned in the slot (see Figure 1-3).
9 Fasten the back panel retaining bracket(s) to the PC chassis with the
screw(s) from the blanking panel(s).
10 Replace the computer cover and plug in your computer.
11. Turn your computer on

Jumper Locations
To change from ISA to Plug-and-Play mode, or to change the default COM port
or IRQ settings from the default to another setting, locate the jumpers on the
surface of your Vanguard 100 PC. (See Figure 1-4 for the location of the
jumpers.)

Figure 1-4. Jumper Locations
ISA/Plug-and-Play Mode
Vanguard 100 PC supports Plug-and-Play capability. A set of jumpers on the
Vanguard 100 PC motherboard allows you to select between ISA and Plug-and-
Play, as shown in Figure 1-5.
Figure 1-5. ISA/Plug-and-Play Jumper Settings
For Plug-and-Play to be in effect, the jumper must be set to PnP Mode, and you
must be running software on your PC that supports Plug-and-Play. Then the COM
and IRQ settings on the Vanguard 100 PC are ignored, and the PC software
determines the settings to configure the board.
If the jumper is in the ISA position, you must manually determine and set your
COM and IRQ settings, as described in the following section.
Note: If you are operating the Vanguard 100 PC in Plug-and Play mode, you
must move the IRQ jumper on the board into the "Not In Use" position, as
shown in Figure 2-6.
COM Port and Interrupt Settings
You can configure the Vanguard 100 PC to be COM 2, 3, 4, or 5. If your
computer is equipped with one or more COM ports, you may need to change the
COM port setting on the Vanguard 100 PC, or disable the PC's built-in COM port.
Most IBM compatible PCs contain two built-in ports for serial asynchronous

communication, known as COM 1 and COM 2. Most computers and software also
support COM 3 and COM 4. COM ports 3 and 4 are used whenever other devices
are using COM ports 1 and 2. COM 5 is not a standard COM port, but it can be
accessed with special software.
An IRQ (interrupt request) is a signal generated by an I/O device that notifies the
computer of incoming data. Your computer has many different IRQ lines, each
assigned a number. Your Vanguard 100 PC is capable of using IRQs 3,4, 5, 10,
11, and 15. I/O devices in your computer cannot share an IRQ with another
device at the same time. For example, your PC mouse and Vanguard 100 PC
cannot have the same IRQ setting.
The Vanguard 100 PC allows flexibility in choosing the COM port, I/O address,
and IRQ line. However, the commonIRQ assignments for COM 2 to COM 5
ports are:
COM Port IRQ Addresses
2 3 02F8H
3 4 03E8H
4 3 02E8H
5 01A8H
Refer to your COM software documentation for additional information regarding
COM and IRQ settings and assignment information.
Use the shorting straps to set jumpers to the appropriate values as shown in
Figures 1-6 and 1-7. Note that an unused shorting strap should be stored on a
single post in the "Not in Use" position.
Figure 1-6. COM Port Jumper Settings

Figure 1-7. IRQ Jumper Settings
Note: Any time the COM or IRQ setting for the Vanguard 100 PC is changed,
the settings in the communications software must be changed to match.
Testing After Installation
To test your Vanguard 100 PC installation, you must be familiar with your
communications software. Ensure that the Vanguard 100 PC is in Control Port
(CP) mode by checking the switch on the Vanguard rear bracket. (See Figure 1-8
to locate the CP switch.)
Note: Whenever you change one of the rear bracket DIP switches, you must
press the reset button to allow the card to recognize the changes.
Rebooting the PC does not reset the Vanguard 100 PC.
The Vanguard 100 PC requires approximately 1 minute to boot after the power is
switched on. The Vanguard 100 PC is operational when the status LED is on
continuously (not flashing).
Load and start your communications software, and enter "terminal mode". Make
sure that the COM port and IRQ settings in the software are the same as the
settings on the Vanguard 100 PC. Press <CR>, and the Vanguard 100 PC should
respond with an asterisk prompt (*) or OK.
Monitoring Your Vanguard 100 PC
The Vanguard 100 PC bracket features six indicators (LEDs) that let you monitor
your equipment. It also features a 4-position DIP switch to allow control of the
various Vanguard 100 PC functions, and a reset button for card reinitialization.
A DIP switch is enabled when it is flipped towards the silk-screened lettering on
the bracket, and disabled when it is flipped away. Figure 1-8 shows the indicators
on the Vanguard 100 PC. In this figure, the enabled position is to the left, and
disabled is to the right. The switches are normally disabled during operation.
