4 Installing the Computer DX-LAN Card
4.1 Identifying the DX-LAN Card Type
Dionex ships PeakNet-PA systems with the following types of DX-LAN
cards:
ISA Plug-and-Play card (P/N 052351)
PCI Plug-and-Play card (P/N 052350)
PCI Plug-and-Play card for 10BASE-T only (P/N 056908)
Before proceeding, check the card's part number and Figure 1 to
determine which type of card you have.
Windows NT must be installed on the PeakNet-PA workstation before
the card is installed.

Installing the Computer DX-LAN Card
Doc. 031832-01 6/02 5
4.2 Installing the DX-LAN Card in the Computer
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord.
2. Remove the computer cover.
3. Locate an empty expansion slot into which the DX-LAN card will fit.
Use the type of slot appropriate for the card (either ISA or PCI). If
several slots are empty, leave as much space as possible around each
installed card to ensure adequate air circulation.
4. Unscrew and remove the metal filler bracket that covers the rear
panel opening for the selected expansion slot. Save the screw.
5. Carefully slide the DX-LAN card into the slot, aligning the card's
metal mounting bracket with the expansion slot opening on the rear
panel.
6. Align the card's bottom edge connectors with the connectors on the
motherboard. Firmly push the card into the motherboard connectors
until the card is fully seated.
7. Use the saved screw to secure the card's metal mounting bracket to
the expansion slot.
8. Replace the computer cover and any cables you removed.
To prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the DX-LAN card's
electronic components, use an electrostatic grounding strap during
the installation. If one is not available, do the following: before
removing the card from its anti-static bag, touch the computer's metal
frame to discharge any static electricity from your body.
DO NOT TURN ON THE COMPUTER until after the DX-LAN network is
connected (see Section 5) and the power is turned on to at least one
of the DX-800 analyzer modules. This ensures that correct
communication is established between the DX-LAN card and the DX-
800 Analyzer modules.

5 Connecting the DX-LAN Network
The DX-LAN network consists of a PeakNet-PA workstation and the devices in
each DX-800 analyzer channel. For example, a network might consist of a
workstation, a component controller, a detector, a pump, and an EG40-PA eluent
generator.
Each device (including the workstation) must be equipped with a DX-LAN
interface card, and either a BNC connector or a 10BASE-T RJ-45 (telephone-
style) connector. The channels AE80 enclosure is equipped with either two BNC
connectors (In and Out) or one 10BASE-T RJ-45 connector.
A DX-LAN network can include 10BASE-T devices only, BNC devices only, or a
combination of 10BASE-T and BNC devices. The installation procedure varies,
depending on the type(s) of DX-LAN devices on the network.
For an overview of how to connect a 10BASE-T network, see Section 5.1.
For an overview of how to connect a BNC network, see Section 5.2.
For examples of various network configurations, see Section 5.3.

Table 2. Parts Required for 10BASE-T Network Connections
The 10BASE-T DX-LAN cable is a Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair
cable. Do not substitute a cable of an inferior grade. Using an
incorrect cable will cause a device to lose communication with the
host computer.
When using 10BASE-T cabling, you must install a hub. If you simply
plug the 10BASE-T cable from a device into the connector on the
computer’s DX-LAN card, the connection will not work.
