3. Hardware Installation
3.1 Introduction
This section describes the steps necessary to configure and install the 5136-DNP-PCI.
The 5136-DNP-PCI is plug-and-play compatible. No DIP-switches need to be set since all required memory
regions, I/O regions, and interrupts are automatically allocated by the Plug&Play BIOS.
3.2 Installing the card
To install the 5136-DNP-PCI in your computer:
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Wear an anti-static strap for the remaining steps.
If an anti-static strap is not available, leave the power cord connected and try to keep in contact with the metal
case of your computer to eliminate the possibility of damaging the 5136-DNP-PCI.
3. Remove the cover from your computer.
Consult the user manual for your computer for instructions.
4. Locate an unused PCI slot in your computer.
Remove the metal insert in the case for the empty slot.
5. Take the 5136-DNP-PCI out of the anti-static bag, touching only the edges of the card. Do not touch the
header pins or the surface of the board.
6. Firmly press the 5136-DNP-PCI card into the PCI connector.
7. Secure the card to the case using the screws provided.
8. Replace the cover on your computer.
3.3 Connecting to a DeviceNet Network
Connect either a DeviceNet Trunk or Drop cable to the 5-pin connector according to the color code in section
2.2.2. Make sure that all strands of wire go into the connector as bent strands may cause shorts to the adjacent
terminal.
Directly connecting DeviceNet Trunk cable is not recommended due to the mechanical stress placed on the
connector by the heavy trunk cable. If you must attach trunk cable, secure it so no undue stress is placed on the
5-pin connector.
3.3.1 Termination Resistor
The 5136-DNP-PCI does not have a built-in termination resistor. If the card is at the extreme end of the network
(end of trunk), connect a 120 ohm termination resistor from pin 2 to pin 4 of the 5-pin connector (providing there
are not already 2 terminators present on the network). This resistor can be inserted along with the DeviceNet cable
prior to tightening the screws.
