RC200/203 overview
3 Installation and set-up
Unpacking the board
You should take care to avoid static discharge when handling the RC200/203 board, as this may
damage it. You are recommended to use an earth strap. If an earth strap is not available, ensure that
you make contact with earth before and during handling of the board, and only handle the board by its
edges.
Connecting the cables
The board must be powered down before you attach cables. The connectors are labelled on the board
and in the
overview of connectors
(see page 14).
You will need to connect the board to your PC with an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel port cable if you
want to use the Celoxica FTU2 program to download BIT files, or to read from or write to SmartMedia
memory. A cable is provided as part of the RC200/203 kit.
Switching on the power
You need a 12V DC power supply with a 2.1mm, centre-positive plug. The power supply must be able to
source at least 2A.
Peripheral devices should be connected before the RC200/203 Board is turned on. Otherwise the
devices may not function correctly.
LED D2 will light up when the power is on. This is the lower of the 2 LEDS to the left of the Celoxica
copyright printed on the board.
