synchronous/ asynchronous ports. They are designed for applications
requiring cost-effective communications. Each board and connector
package is supplied with all the hardware and software needed for a
complete board installation.

The Hitachi HD64570 Serial Communications Adapter

highly-integrated advanced communications subsystem for the SYNC/570

It further maximizes synchronous communications
performance by using protocol-specific features to minimize driver
overhead.

The

addressable by both the system and the

activity. This architecture provides low system overhead and high
performance.

Chapter One: Introduction

CHAPTER

Protecting Your Equipment and Data

Surge

Lightning, electrical surges, and power fluctuations can damage your equip­ment and/or data through the power lines and/or the serial data lines. When
electrical storms occur, the most effective method of protecting your com­puter system is to unplug your computer and peripherals, and disconnect

all data and telephone lines.

To protect against lightning, electrical surges, and power fluctuations,

recommends uninterruptible power supplies

power line filters, and

surge protectors for every installation.
A UPS can provide protection from electrical surges and fluctuations in the

power supplied to the computer. However, it does little good to protect the
main console if you have no protection on the other devices attached to the
system. Power line filters protect against electrical surges and transient

spikes. Some filters even have a shutdown feature that drops power to the
device if voltage drops below a preset level. This prevents the spikes and
surges caused by the typical “off and on” electrical problems that occur
during a thunderstorm. AC line filters should be used with all electrical
devices connected to a computer system, no matter how small or simple.

The interface cables themselves present another potential danger. Nearby

lightning strikes can induce high-voltage surges into the cables. Machinery,

especially commercial machines with electric motors, often generates elec-

trical noise that can be picked up by cables and cause data errors or
equipment damage.

includes

on every

and

optionally on the SYNW70.

clips fast-rising peak voltages to
help protect against spikes over twenty-five volts caused by lightning,
static, or induced voltage. For

maximum protection we recommend surge

suppressors on the peripheral end of all serial cables.
Cables running long distances and/or through electrically noisy areas are

subject to noise pickup that can cause data errors or equipment damage.

Destructive power surges can also enter through modems via telephone
connections. Filters made specifically for this purpose should be included
on all telephone line connections.

3

Using a receptacle for only the computer and terminal also protects against
data errors or equipment damage. Sharing the receptacle with
producing devices such as fax machines, printers, calculators, and heaters
may allow noise pickup.

Grounding Techniques

Many terminals and computers are dependent on earth ground to set a

reference for signal ground. Improper grounding or differences in ground
potential between your computer and terminals can damage your equip­ment or even create a safety hazard. Consequently, you should make sure
that every component in your system is properly grounded.

Connect your computer and all terminals and other peripherals to

pronged grounded receptacles, making sure that the receptacles are wired
properly. If you must use three-prong to two-prong adapters, make sure
that the adapter ground tabs are properly grounded.

A proper chassis ground guarantees that no dangerous voltages exist on

terminal frames. Proper grounding also helps cancel noise that can other-

wise be induced on the frame or equipment.

Local electrical codes may also dictate special grounding arrangements.
Your electrician can make sure that your installation complies with all
applicable codes. If you have any doubt about the integrity of the ground­ing system in your location, have the system checked by a licensed
electrician.

Static Protection

Your computer’s case not only houses its family of computer components,
but it also protects these sensitive electronic components from stray mag­netic

and electrical

static) fields.

Chapter Two: Protecting Your Equipment and Data

Make sure that you are working in a static-controlled area which includes at

least a conductive benchtop mat or chair mat that is electrically connected
to earth ground. Conductive wrist straps in conjunction with ground cords
provide extra protection for handling electronic components. Always store
and/or move individual printed circuit boards in a conductive bag. Consult
your local electronics or

supply distributor for static control products.

one board at a time. Although the active

board by
default is the ISA board at the highest I/O address or the Micro Channel
board at the highest slot number, you may change the active board. The
screen header indicates the active board and its address.

The tests will fail if there is an address or interrupt conflict If the
diagnostics cannot determine your switch settings, there is probably a
conflict. In this case, try other address and/or interrupt settings.

For an ISA system, the diagnostics program displays IRQ, the base memory

address, and the base I/O address. You may modify the address and IRQ
selections from the diagnostics. The IRQ must be active, and you must
select a non-zero address. If you cannot determine a setting, call

Customer Support for assistance.

For a Micro Channel system, the diagnostics program displays the current

POS registers which identify the IRQ, the base memory address, and the

base

address. If any of these parameters need to be

changed, repeat

the procedure in Section 6 beginning with Step

transfer mode test. When the line 1 tests

are complete, install the

connector on line 2 (the upper

The diagnostics program also tests the ability of the card to generate

interrupts by way of internal data loopbacks. It tests all found ports.
For example, a 4 port board will prompt you to move the
connector when performing the external data and control signal tests.

The internal and external tests are run at the maximum supported bit

rates for their respective interfaces. On the internal tests, all available
channels are
