Safety Instructions
To maximize user safety and ensure correct device operation, all instructions con-
tained in this section should be read carefully.
• The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
• Electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of
respective regulations.
• Take care that there are no cables, particularly mains cables, in areas where
persons can trip over them.
• Do not use a mains connection in sockets shared by a number of other power
consumers. Do not use an extension cable.
• Only use the mains cable supplied.
• The unit is completely disconnected from the power source only when the
power cord is disconnected from the power source. Therefore the power cord
and its connectors must always remain easily accessible.
• Do not set up the device in the proximity of heat sources or in a damp location.
Make sure the device has adequate ventilation.
• All connection cables must be screwed or locked to the chassis housing.
• The device is no longer safe to operate when
— the device has visible damage or
— the device no longer functions.
• In these cases, the device must be shut down and secured against unintentional
operation.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a person authorized by Themis Computer.
• The device may only be opened for the installation and removal of extension
(PCI) cards, memory modules, storage drives, fan housings, power supplies,
and the lithium battery—all in accordance with the instructions given in this
and correlating manuals.
Caution: It is important that the user observe all warnings and instructions
that are on the device and contained in this manual.

v
Themis Computer
GbE XMC Ethernet Card Installation Manual
• If extensions are made to the device, the legal stipulations and the device spec-
ifications must be observed.
• The device must be switched off when removing the top cover; for example,
before installing extension (PCI) cards.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices
or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary pre-
cautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-
free stations.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or
assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on conductive
foam.
Grounding Methods
Guard against electrostatic damage at workstations by following these steps:
1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap
connected to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
3. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case
or the PCB edge.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or
test equipment.
6. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-
sembly aids and Styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools, such as cutters, and screwdrivers that are conductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

The GbE XMC Ethernet Card has been designed to fit on to a standard XMC carrier
board and is provided with installation hardware (not shown). The GbE Card is rug-
ged enough to meet the demands associated with such markets as the military, aero-
space, and telecommunications industries.

xx Themis Computer
The GbE Card is based upon the Intel 82571 Gigabit Ethernet Controller which uti-
lizes PCI Express architecture v1.0a. The XMC connector also allows for a x4 PCIe
connection between the GbE Card and host board. The small form factor of the GbE
XMC Ethernet Card allows for tight space constraints yet powerfull enough for both
server and workstation network designs.
The GbE XMC Ethernet Card is based on the functionality and capability of the fol-
lowing Intel chip:
• Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
An overview of GbE XMC Ethernet Card design and specifications is given in
Chapter 1, "GbE XMC Overview and Specifications", of this manual.
Connector pinout, LED, and solder bead descriptions are given in the Appendices of
this manual.
This manual is intended for an experienced system administrator with a knowledge
of networking, VME based platforms, high-speed single board computers, and cur-
rent OS software.
