This chapter provides the requirements and instructions for installing the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter hardware.
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter has specific hardware requirements. This section reviews these requirements and identifies areas of flexibility in your system configuration.
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter can be installed in any available PCI bus-mastering slot in a Windows NT workstation.
To install the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter, you need:
Observe these guidelines and safety precautions when working around electrical equipment:
 | Caution Locate the power source shutoff for the room where you are working. This is where you will turn OFF the power in the event of an emergency or accident. Never assume that power has been disconnected for a circuit. Always check first. |
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter card draws this amount of electrical current:
This section provides instructions for safely unpacking and handling the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter.
| Caution For your safety, and to avoid damaging the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter components, always attach the grounding strap before handling the adapter. |
Each Cisco ATM PCI Adpater should arrive in good condition. Before unpacking the adapter and accessories, check for any obvious damage to the packaging and notify your carrier immediately upon receipt. Verify the package contents against the list(s) provided below. For completeness in this Guide, the contents of both the Adapter package and the Software Media package are listed. If any item is missing or damaged contact Cisco Customer Service. See Appendix C.
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter package contains:
The Cisco ATM PCI Software Media package contains:
When unpacking the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter:
Perform these steps to insert and install the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter card:
Step 1 Shut down the power supply to your system.
Step 2 Remove the cover screws and the workstation cover. (For specific instructions see the hardware documentation that came with your computer.)
Step 3 Remove the PCI slot-cover from the slot position where you want to install the PCI adapter.
Step 4 Connect the ground strap to a clean metal surface on the workstation and secure it to your person (e.g., attach it to your wrist or ankle).
Step 5 Remove the adapter card from the anti-static bag.
Step 6 Holding the card by the edges, insert the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter into the designated PCI slot, keeping it at a 90o angle to the motherboard. Align the edge connectors to the slot.
| Caution The warranty will be void and the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter will be damaged if an attempt is made to install the Adapter into a non-PCI slot. |
Step 7 Using the slot-cover screw, attach the mounting bracket of the PCI card to the casing.
Step 8 Remove the ground strap from your wrist and the workstation.
Step 9 Replace the workstation cover.
Step 10 Connect an ATM interface cable to the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter transceiver interface connector.
Step 11 Turn on the power supply to your system.
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter can be inserted into any bus-mastering PCI slot in the work- station. In most systems, this card is a "plug and play" device which is automatically configured when the system is powered up. There are no jumpers or switch settings to configure before inserting the adapter in the workstation.
The Cisco ATM PCI Adapter is bus-mastering and requires that the CMOS is aware of this fact. Refer to the hardware manual (re: motherboard) that came with your workstation for detailed information regarding the slots in your workstation. Verify that the desired slot has bus-mastering capabilities.
If the workstation does not automatically configure PCI-bus devices, enter the CMOS SETUP utility after inserting the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter to manually configure the slot. Enable the bus-master parameter for the slot and configure the PCI slot to INTA or assign a free IRQ number to PCI INTA.
After you have properly connected the Cisco ATM PCI Adapter transceiver to your network and powered on the workstation or server, confirm that you have inserted the Adapter card correctly by checking the adapter's LED indicators. Green indicates that a signal is being received while yellow indicates a frame error. Refer to Table 2-1 to identify the condition of the adapter:
| LED | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
Green Yellow | On Off | The adapter is connected properly and is receiving valid SONET frames. |
Green Yellow | Off On | Physical layer error detected by the SONET indicating a probable link status error. Check the connection (e.g., it may be reversed). |
Green Yellow | On On | A signal is detected but an error in SONET framing is evident. Ensure that the adapter is connected to another ATM device (i.e., not FDDI or Token Ring). |
Green Yellow | Off Off | The adapter is not seated properly in the slot. Power off the workstation immediately. Ensure the adapter is seated all the way into a PCI slot; if it is inserted properly contact Technical Support (refer to Appendix B). |
If the green LED is lit and the yellow LED is off, the adapter installation is correct and complete. Chapter 3, "Installing the Adapter Software," provides instructions for installing the software.
