INSTALLATION

To install a Boot PROM, remove the Boot PROM from its packaging. Ensure that the legs of the Boot PROM are aligned in a 90° angle with the PROM body so the legs of the Boot PROM are perpendicular to the Boot PROM pin sockets. Insert the Boot PROM into the PROM socket so that the notch in the PROM is aligned with the notch in the socket as shown in Figure 2-5.

Refer to the Boot PROM installation instructions included with the PROM for setting Boot PROM parameters.

Refer to your PC user manual for further information on selecting a Boot PROM address for your application.

2.6INSTALLING THE E1100/E2100 ADAPTERS

Note that any of the E1100 and E2100 Series adapters can be installed in either an XT or an AT style expansion slot. The E1100 adapter will occupy the forward half of the bus connector in an AT style bus.

CAUTION: The adapter is sensitive to static discharges. Hold it by the corners. Avoid contact with the PC bus edge connector or any of the components, except the jumpers. Failure to observe all static precautions may result in damage to the adapter.

Follow these steps to install the adapter in your computer:

Turn off the power to the PC and peripherals and disconnect all power cords and cables.

Following the instructions in your computer user manual, using static discharge precautions, remove the cover from the computer.

Select the slot in which the adapter will be installed. An E1100 adapter can occupy any XT style, 8-bit expansion slot, or an AT style, 16-bit expansion slot. An E2100 can occupy any 16-bit expansion slot or an XT type slot, but in an 8-bit slot, performance will be degraded.
