Plugging the Board into an Expansion Slot

Since the CP-118U board’s IRQ number and I/O address are automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS, the board MUST be plugged into one of the computer’s expansion slots before installing the driver.

Step 1: Power off the PC.

WARNING

To avoid damaging your system and board, make sure your computer is turned off before installing the board.

Step 2: Remove the PC’s cover.

Step 3: Remove the slot cover bracket if there is one.

Step 4: Use the onboard DIP Switches to set the transmission mode for each port (see the previous section for details).

Step 5: Plug the CP-118U board firmly into a free 32-bit PCI slot.

Step 6: Fasten the holding screw to fix the control board in place.

Step 7: Replace the PC’s cover.

Step 8: Power on the PC. The BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address.

NOTE

Each Moxa Universal PCI or PCI board uses one unique IRQ and I/O address, both of which are assigned automatically by the PCI BIOS.

Step 9: Proceed with the software installation discussed in the next chapter, “Software Installation.”
