INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installing Your PCI-GPIB,

NI PCIe-GPIB, PXI-GPIB, or

PMC-GPIB and NI-488.2

for Solaris

This document describes how to install and configure your GPIB hardware and

NI-488.2 software. Refer to the section that describes the installation for your

particular board. Other documentation, including the software reference manual,

is available on your NI-488.2 software for Solaris CD in the \documentation

folder.

Before you install your GPIB controller, consult the manual that came with your

workstation for specific instructions and warnings. You must have superuser

privileges to install the hardware and software.

Installing the PCI-GPIB or NI PCIe-GPIB

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on

your GPIB board. To avoid electrostatic damage when you handle the

module, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your

computer chassis before you remove the board from the package.

Complete the following steps to install the PCI-GPIB or NI PCIe-GPIB.

1. Log on as superuser. To become a superuser, type su root and enter the root

password.

2. Shut down your system by typing the following commands at the command

line prompt:

sync;sync;shutdown

3. Power off your computer after it has shut down. Keep the computer plugged

in so that it remains grounded while you install the GPIB board.

4. Remove the top cover (or other access panels) to give yourself access to the

computer expansion slots.

5. Find an unused PCI or PCI Express slot in your computer.

6. Remove the corresponding slot cover.

7. Insert the GPIB board into the slot with the GPIB connector sticking out of the

opening on the back panel, as shown in Figure 1. It might be a tight fit, but do

not force the board into place.

8. Replace the top cover (or the access panel to the PCI or PCI Express slot).

9. Power on your computer. The GPIB interface board is now installed.

Installing the PXI-GPIB

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on

your GPIB board. To avoid electrostatic damage when you handle the

module, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your

system chassis before you remove the board from the package.

Complete the following steps to install the PXI-GPIB.

1. Log on as superuser. To become a superuser, type su root and enter the root

password.

2. Shut down your system by typing the following commands at the command

line prompt:

sync;sync;shutdown

3. Power off your PXI or CompactPCI chassis after it has shut down. Keep the

chassis plugged in so that it remains grounded while you install the PXI-GPIB.

4. Choose an unused PXI or CompactPCI peripheral slot. For maximum

performance, the PXI-GPIB has an onboard DMA controller that can only

be used if the board is installed in a slot that supports bus master cards.

National Instruments recommends installing the PXI-GPIB in such a slot.

If you install the board in a non-bus master slot, you must disable the

PXI-GPIB onboard DMA controller using the board-level call ibdma.

Refer to the NI-488.2M Software Reference Manual for a complete

description of ibdma.

5. Remove the filler panel for the peripheral slot you have chosen.

6. Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static electricity that might

be on your clothes or body.

7. Insert the PXI-GPIB into the selected slot. Use the injector/ejector handle to

fully inject the device into place. Figure 2 shows how to install the PXI-GPIB

into a PXI or CompactPCI chassis.

8. Screw the front panel of the PXI-GPIB to the front-panel mounting rail of the

PXI or CompactPCI chassis.

9. Power on your PXI or CompactPCI chassis. The PXI-GPIB interface board

is now installed.

Installing the PMC-GPIB

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on

your GPIB board. To avoid electrostatic damage when you handle the

module, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your

computer chassis before you remove the board from the package.

Complete the following steps to install the PMC-GPIB.

1. Log on as superuser. To become a superuser, type su root and enter the root

password.

2. Shut down your system by typing the following commands at the command

line prompt:

sync;sync;shutdown

3. Power off your system.

4. Find an unused PMC slot in your system. You may need to remove the host

from the system to access the slot.

5. Remove the corresponding slot filler panel from the host.

6. Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static electricity that might

be on your clothes or body.

7. Insert the PMC-GPIB into the slot as shown in Figure 3. It might be a tight fit,

but do not force the board into place.

8. Use the mounting hardware provided to fasten the PMC-GPIB to the host.

9. Reinstall the host, if you removed it to install the PMC-GPIB.

10. Power on your system. The PMC-GPIB interface board is now installed.

Installing NI-488.2

Complete the following steps to install NI-488.2 for Solaris.

1. Insert the NI-488.2 for Solaris installation CD-ROM.

2. You must have superuser privileges before you can install NI-488.2 for

Solaris. If you are not already a superuser, type su root and enter the

root password.

3. Add NI-488.2 to the operating system by doing the following:

a. The CD automatically mounts as soon as you insert the CD. If this feature

is disabled on your workstation, you must manually mount your CD-ROM

device.

b. Enter the following command to add NI-488.2 to your system:

/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0 NIpcigpib

4. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation.

Configuring the Software with ibconf (Optional)

ibconf is an interactive utility you can use to examine or modify the

configuration of the driver. You might want to run ibconf to change the settings

of the software parameters. You must have superuser privilege to run ibconf.

ibconf is largely self explanatory and contains help screens that explain all

commands and options. For more information on using ibconf, refer to the

NI-488.2M Software Reference Manual.

Installing Your GPIB Hardware and NI-488.2 for Solaris 10 ni.com

Complete the following steps to change the default parameters of your

NI-488.2 software. The driver should not be in use while you run ibconf.

1. Log on as superuser (root).

2. Type the following command to start ibconf:

ibconf

After you have installed and configured the software, you should verify the

installation. Refer to the Verify the Installation section.

Removing NI-488.2 (Optional)

If you ever decide to stop using your PCI-GPIB, PXI-GPIB, or PMC-GPIB, you

can remove the board and the NI-488.2 software. To remove NI-488.2 from the

kernel configuration, you must have superuser privilege and the driver must not

be in use. Enter the following command to unload the software:

pkgrm NIpcigpib

Verify the Installation

This section describes how to verify the software installation.

Verifying the System Boot Messages

If a message in the following format displays on the console or in the

command tool window during software installation, the driver has established

communication with the hardware device and recognized it.
