Hardware Installation
This chapter explains how to install the ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV onto a PMC motherboard.
2.1.
Motherboard requirements
The ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV is a 3.3V only PCI device and is not compatible with systems that
use 5V PCI signalling levels.
The board must be installed in a PMC motherboard that su5.0V and +3.3V power to
the PMC connectors. Ensure that the motherboard satisfies this requirement before powering
it up.
2.2.
Handling instructions
Observe SSD precautions when handling the cards to prevent damage to components by
electrostatic discharge.
Avoid flexing the board.
2.3.
Installing the ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV onto a PMC motherboard
Note:
This operation should not be performed while the PMC motherboard is powered up.
The ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV must be secured to the PMC motherboard using M2.5 screws in the
four holes provided. The PMC bezel through which the I/O connector protrudes should be
flush with the front panel of the PMC motherboard.
2.4.
Installing the ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV if fitted to an ADC-PMC
The ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV can be supplied for use in standard PC systems fitted to an ADC-
PMC carrier board. The ADC-PMC can support up to two PMC cards whilst maintaining host
PC PCI compatibility. If you are using a ADC-PMC refer to the supplied documentation for
information on jumper settings. All that is required for installation is a PCI slot that has enough
space to accommodate the full-length card. The ADC-PMC is compatible with 5V and 3V PCI
(32 and 64 bit) and PCI-X slots.
It should be noted that the ADC-PMC uses a standard bridge to provide a secondary PCI bus
for the ADM-XRC-5T2 and that some older BIOS code does not set up these devices
correctly. Please ensure you have the latest version of BIOS appropriate for your machine.
2.5.
Installing the ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV if fitted to an ADC-EMC
The ADM-XRC-5T2-ADV can be supplied for use in standard PC systems fitted to an ADC-
EMC carrier board. The ADC-EMC can support up to two PMC cards whilst maintaining host
PCI-Express compatibility. If you are using a ADC-EMC refer to the supplied documentation
for information on jumper settings. All that is required for installation is a PCIe slot that has
enough space to accommodate the full-length card
