•
Verify that the power supply is capable of meeting the total power requirements of
the RXi2-XP 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-XP IPC (such as the PCIe boards or
internal SATA drives).
4.2.2
Keyboard
A compatible USB keyboard for initial system operation of the RXi2-XP IPC is required.
Depending on your application, this may be a standard keyboard, or one that uses membrane
switches for harsh environments.
4.2.3
Video Monitor
Any video monitor with native Display Port (or a suitable adaptor for the Display Port) can be
used for initial setup.
4.3
Minimum System Requirements
The RXi2-XP IPC has been thoroughly tested and is nearly ready for usage 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).
4.4
Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time the computer boots up it must pass the Power-On Self-Test (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
•
Checksum is valid (readable)
•
CMOS is readable (CMOS checksum is valid)
•
CPU is able to read all forms of memory, such as the memory controller, memory bus,
and memory module
•
First 64 KB of memory is operational and has the capability to be Read and Written to
and from, and contains the POST code
•
I/O bus / controller is accessible
•
I/O bus is able to Read/Write from the video subsystem and be able to read all video
RAM
