Connect the hardware

In addition to the board, you are required to have these hardware:
CAUTION:

Use only the power supplies with specifications recommended by the board's manufacturer. Use of any other power supply may permanently damage the board. When power cycling the board, turn the power on or off from the power supply, rather than removing and inserting the DC power plug on the board, to prevent damaging the board’s power-regulation circuitry.

  1. Ensure that DIP Switch SW1 is set properly. For more information, see the Configure the board switches section in this chapter.
  2. Insert the RAM modules to the RAM slots.
  3. Insert the microSD card with your QNX IFS image file into the selected boot slot on the board.
  4. Connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the 24-pin ATX connector on the board. Then plug in the power supply.
