2 Installation
This chapter explains how to install the ADM-
XP
onto a PMC motherboard.
2.1
Motherboard requirements
The XP is a 3.3V only PCI device and is not compatible with systems that use 5V signalling.
The XP must be installed in a PMC motherboard that supplies 3.3V power to the PMC connectors. Ensure that
the motherboard satisfies this requirement before powering it up.
2.2 Handling
instructions
Observe precautions for preventing damage to components by electrostatic discharge. Personnel handling the
board should take SSD precautions.
Avoid flexing the board.
2.3 Installing the ADM-XP onto a PMC motherboard
Note: This operation should not be performed while the PMC motherboard is powered up.
The ADM-XP 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-XP if fitted to an ADC-PMC
The ADM-XP can be supplied for use in standard PC systems fitted to an ADC-PMC carrier board. The ADC-
PMC can support up to two ADC-PMC cards whilst maintaining host PC PCI compatibility. If you are using a
ADC-PMC64 refer to the supplied documentation for information on jumper settings. With the ADC-PMC64 all
that is required for installation is a 5V or 3V PCI slot that has enough space to accommodate the full-length
card.
It should be noted that the ADC-PMC uses a standard bridge to provide a secondary PCI bus for the ADM-XP
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.
