5.2.1
Power Supply
WARNING
Verify that the power supply is turned OFF while installing boards or modules into the
RXi2-UP IPC.
Adhere to the following guidelines:
•
Verify that the power supply is capable of meeting the total power requirements
of the RXi2-UP IPC. (Refer to the section Specifications.)
•
Verify you do not have the power supply turned ON while opening the enclosure
to install add-on boards and modules into the RXi2-UP IPC (such as the PCIe
boards or internal SATA drives).
5.2.2
Keyboard
A compatible USB keyboard for the initial system operation of the RXi2-UP IPC is required.
Depending on your application, this may be a standard keyboard or one that uses
membrane switches for harsh environments.
5.2.3
Video Monitor
Any video monitor with a native Display Port (or a suitable adaptor for the Display Port) can
be used for initial setup.
5.3
Minimum System Requirements
The RXi2-UP IPC has been thoroughly tested and is nearly ready for use in the target system.
To verify operation for the first time, Emerson recommends that you only configure a
minimal system. It is not necessary to have disk drives, a flash disk, or other accessories
connected to perform the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
5.4
Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time the computer boots up it must pass the POST. If the computer does not pass any
of the test items, the unit will fail the POST.
Test items are as follows:
•
CPU must exit the reset status mode and thereafter be able to execute instructions
•
SPI Flash ROM and Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory (NOVRAM) is readable
•
The checksum is valid (readable)
•
CMOS is readable (CMOS checksum is valid)
•
CPU can read all forms of memory, such as the memory controller, memory bus, and
memory module
•
The first 64 KB of memory is operational and can be Read and Written to and from, and
contains the POST code
•
I/O bus/controller is accessible
•
I/O bus can Read/Write from the video subsystem and be able to read all video RAM
