and modify the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation. Non-certified engineers
or technicians should not attempt to install the EC-1040GB rackmount
workstation.
Mounting: The EC-1040GB rackmount workstations are heavy devices.
When rack mounting the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation, please ensure
that at least two people are assisting with the procedure.
Anti-static Discharge: Electronic components like CPU cards and
backplanes must be installed into the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation.
Follow proper grounding procedures before installing these components.
4.1.2 Installation Prerequisites
Prepare the following before installing the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation:
Completely installed CPU card: The EC-1 040GB rackmount workstation
CPU card is separately purchased. Before installing the EC-1040GB
rackmount workstation, a CPU card should be properly installe d. The
following components may also have to be installed (refer to the user manual
that came with the CPU card):
o CPU
o Heatsink and cooling fan
o Memory modules (DIMMs)
o Compact flash disks
Backplane/Motherboard: The backplane or motherboard installed in the
Page 19
EC-1040GB rackmount workstation is separately purchased.
Disk Drives: Disk drives installed into the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation
are separately purchased. Disk drive support is CPU card dependent. Before
purchasing a CPU card or disk drives, please check the CPU card disk drive
support.
4.2 Unpacking
4.2.1 Packaging
When shipped, the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation is wrapped in a plastic bag. Two
polystyrene ends are placed on either side of the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation. The
workstation is then placed into a first (internal) cardboard box. This box is then sealed and
placed into a second (external) cardboard box. The second box is also sealed. A small
box containing accessory items is placed within the internal (first) box.
EC-1040GB Workstation
4.2.2 Unpacking Procedure
To unpack the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation, follow the steps below:
NOTE:
The front side LCD screen has a protective plastic cover stuck to the screen.
Remove the plastic cover only after the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation has
been properly installed. This ensures the screen is protected during the
installation process.
Step 1: Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors to open the top of the external
(second) box.
Step 2: Open the external (second) box.
Page 20
EC-1040GB Workstation
Step 3: Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of sci ssors to o pen the top of the intern al
(first) box.
Step 4: Lift the workstation out of the boxes.
Step 5: Remove both polystyrene ends from each side.
Step 6: Pull the plastic cover off the workstation.
Step 7: Make sure all the components listed in the pa cking list are present.

4.3 Pre-installation Preparation
4.3.1 System Planning
User supplied CPU cards and backplanes or motherboards need to be installed in the
system before installing the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation.
The backplane determines the following system parameters:
CPU card type
Expandability
The CPU card determines the following system parameters:
CPU
Embedded graphics
System memory
HDD, FDD and optical drive connectivity and capacity
Speed
It is therefore proper to correctly specify the system before the system is installed. This
ensures that prudent selections can be made when the system is being developed.
4.3.2 Tools
Before installing the EC-1040GB rackmount workstation, make sure the following tools are
on hand:
Philips (crosshead) screwdriver: All the retention screws on the system are
Philips screws.
Soft working mat: When installing the EC-1040GB ra ckmount wo rkstation, the
Page 23
screen should be placed face down on a soft wo rking mat.

7.1 A106 Utility Overview
The EC-1040GB workstation has a preinstalled A106 alarm board. The main function of
the A106 alarm board is to check whether the temperatures in the chassis and the speed
of the fans is normal. It also monitors the system via an external Watchdog timer providing
feedback as to whether the system is working properly or has dropped halt.
The A106 alarm board is connected to several critical system components as well as the
front panel LEDs and buzzer to notify the user in case of system fan failure or if high
temperatures are sensed in the workstation.
For more information on programmable features of the A106 alarm board, refer to the
documentation contained on the utility CD included with the workstation.
Figure 8-1 shows the cabling of the workstation components to the A106 alarm board.
