2.3 Hardware Installation
Note: | Make sure you have installed the software driver |
| before you install the module (please refer to Sec- |
| tion 2.2 Driver Installation) |
After the DLL driver installation is completed, you can now go on to install the
USB 1.1/2.0 standard, on your computer. It is suggested that you refer to the computer’s user manual if you have any doubts. Please follow the steps below to install the module on your system.
Step 1: Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutral- ize the static electricity that might be in your body.
Step 2: Plug your USB module into the selected USB port. Use of exces- sive force must be avoided; otherwise the module might get damaged.
Note: | In case you installed the module without installing the |
| DLL driver first, Windows 2000/XP will recognize your |
| module as an “unknown device” after reboot, and will |
| prompt you to provide necessary driver. You should |
| ignore the prompting messages (just click the Cancel |
| button) and set up the driver according to the steps |
| described in Section 2.2 Driver Installation. |
After your module is installed, you can configure it using the Advantech Device Manager. The Device Driver's Manual can be found at:
