Before You Begin
Protecting the Board from Damage
Caution! All computer boards are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-sensitive
boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe
anti-static precautions at all times.
If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit
http://www.dialogic.com/support/hwinstall to learn more.
Unpacking the Board
Unpack the Dialogic® DM3 Fax Board (“board”) according to
the following steps:
1. Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.
2. Carefully remove the board from the shipping
carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the board
by the edges and avoid touching the board’s
components.
3. Lay the board on the static-dissipative work
surface.
Note: Place boards in static-shielding bags when carrying
boards from station to station.
CAUTION: Do not remove the board from the anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper
anti-static precautions at all times.
Configuring the Hardware
Board Identification
The DM3 device driver, part of the system software, assigns
board instance numbers in ascending order (beginning with 0)
as it detects each board in your system. A board instance

number is the identification (ID) number used by the system
software to recognize the board.
NOTE: If you add or remove a board, the system may
change the existing board instance (ID) numbers.

After the hardware and the system software are installed,
refer to the Dialogic
to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the
board(s) in your system.
See the DCM online help for more details about board
identification.

Installing the Hardware
NOTE: You should install the hardware before the system
software. However, if you are adding DM3 hardware to an
existing DM3 system, you do not need to uninstall existing
DM3 software.
1. With your computer on the static-safe work area, switch
off the power and disconnect all power cords from the
electrical outlets.
2. Remove the computer cover.
3. Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the
slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if
applicable).

4. If you are not installing your board in an ISA form
factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer from the
board.
5. Using the slot’s board guides, insert the edge connector
of the board into the bus slot. Press firmly until the
board is securely seated in the slot.

8. Select a new PCI slot and repeat steps 3-7 for each
board you are installing.
9. Use the CT Bus cable to connect the board(s) you are
installing to other boards in the system.
NOTE: Your system may include both CT Bus and SCbus
boards. To connect both board types, you must install a CT
Bus/SCbus Adapter on one of the CT Bus boards in a
system. See the CT Bus/SCbus Adapter Quick Install Card
for installation details about the Adapter and the bus
cables. Contact your sales representative to order an
Adapter.
10. Install CT Bus Termination Jumpers only on boards
located at each end of the CT Bus cable. See Physical
Description.
11. Replace the computer cover when finished and reconnect
the power cords.

12. Turn the power to the chassis ON.
CAUTION: If your BIOS is set to use Plug and Play
technology and there are ISA boards in your system, an
IRQ conflict can be created if a DM3 board is assigned
the same IRQ as an ISA board. This could cause the
machine to stop responding. You can prevent this by
entering the BIOS and reserving the appropriate IRQs
(those used by your ISA boards) for ISA use only.
