American Dynamics AD168 Hook-up Instructions

INSTALL / INSTRUCTIONS, BOOTLOAD     The bootload interface is required to download upgrade information into AD168 bay modules. Hook-up and download are performed on-site, and should be implemented by qualified service personnel only. Download can involve any one or all of the AD168 modules. In the case of a bay with multiple VIM or VOM modules, The hook-up and download procedure always starts from the right-most module (facing the front of the bay).  
Bootload Interface Device PN AD168UPGR-CBL – consisting of the following 3 components: • One Bootload Interface Box. • One AD168 Interface Cable w/ 8-pin female connectors on both ends. • One PC Interface Cable w/ male DB-9 connector for connection to the Bootload Interface Box, and female DB-9 connector for connection to the PC.
One PC, running MS-DOS, with serial capability at 1200 and 9600 baud.
One AD168 bay, populated with the following modules: VIM(s), VOM(s), CPM, PSM, and CCM (optional). See Figure 3 for module positions.
A diskette or diskettes. The download files for each card type are contained in separate sub-directories on the diskette(s).
   !   " 1. Connect the male end of the 6-foot cable “A” to the female DB-9 connector on the interface box “B”. 2. Connect either end of the 8-conductor cable “C” to the J3 right-angled header on the interface box. Make sure that the overhang of the connector is flush with the lip of the header (facing J3, pin 1 of the 8-pin connector should be connected to the right-most pin on J3). See Figure 2 following. #   !  "  !$# Note: this procedure is applicable to the following AD168 modules: VIM(s), VOM(s), CCM, CPM. A separate procedure is described for the Power Supply Module (PSM). Do not apply the following procedure to the PSM. 1. Turn power off to the AD168 bay 2. Remove the front cover of the bay by manually loosening the captive screws in the upper corners. 3. Remove the retainer bar positioned in front of the AD168 modules. The bar is attached at the top of the bay with three thumbscrews. Note: the bar may have been removed during initial installation. 4. With the exception of the power supply module, pull all AD168 modules to be downloaded out of their respective mid-plane connectors, but do not remove the modules from their bay slots. 5. Connect the female end of the PC interface cable to the DB-9 COM 1 RS-232 serial port on the PC. Note: Call Technical Support if COM 1 is not available. 6. Connect the 8-pin bay interface connector to the right-angled header on the card to be upgraded. Make sure that the connector-to-header orientation corresponds to that shown in Figure 2. Instructions for downloading software to the cards are provided with the equipment for each AD168 software release. Refer to the appropriate document for downloading procedures and special hook-up instructions for the Power Supply Module (PSM). % & Contact Technical Support at 1-800-442-2225 (or 914-624-7640).
