2.3 Hardware Installation

Note:

Make sure you have installed the driver before you

 

install the card. We strongly recommend that you

 

install the software driver before you install the

 

hardware into your system, since this will guaran-

 

tee a smooth and trouble-free installation process.

For more information about the driver installation, configuration and removal procedures for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, please see the corresponding help file:

After the DLL driver installation is completed, you can go on to install the PCM-3780 card in one of the PC/104 I slots on your computer. It is suggested that you refer to the computer user’s manual or related docu- mentation if you have any doubts. Please follow the steps below to install the card on your system.

2.3.1 Installing the Module

1.Turn the PC’s power off. Turn off the power of any peripheral devices such as printers and monitors.

2.Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of the computer.

3.Remove the system unit cover (see the user.s guide for your chassis if necessary).

4.Remove the CPU card from the chassis (if necessary) to gain access to the card.s PC/104 connector.

5.Connect connector J1 of the PCM-3780 card to the PC/104 connec- tor. Carefully align the pins with the PC/104 connector. Slide the module into the connector. The module pins may not slide all the way into the connector; do not force the pins into place, as the mod- ule may be damaged.

6.Fasten the module to the CPU card by using the included brass screw. Screw the brass spacer into the threaded hole on the CPU card. Do not tighten too much, or the threads may be damaged.

7.Attach any accessories to the PCM-3780 card using 20 pin cables.

8.Reinstall the CPU card and replace the system unit cover. Recon- nect the cables you removed in step 2. Plug in and turn on the power.
