Chapter 2 System Setup
2.1 General
When you receive your workstation you will find a backplane, power
supply, and floppy disk drive already installed. Further setup of the AWS-
8248 is easy. All you have to do is slide out its work drawer module,
install a CPU card, optional hard disk drive and whatever additional I/O
cards your application requires. You can then mount your workstation
into a 19-inch rack or into a panel.
2.2 Detaching the work drawer
The work drawer is a card cage that slides in and out of the body of the
AWS-8248, providing easy access to your cards, drives and power sup-
ply.
1. Detach the cables that connect the work drawer to the main chassis.
2. Detach the main power cord, keyboard and video connectors from
the work drawer.
3. Four screws on the back of the AWS-8248 hold the drawer in the
chassis. Remove the screws, and the drawer can then slide out
freely.
Warning!
1. Do not begin your installation until you are sure
there is no power flowing within the AWS-8248.
Power must be switched off and the main power
cord unplugged.
2. Every time you service the AWS-8248, you
should switch the power off and unplug the main
power cord.
