2.3 Hardware Installation

Note:

Make sure you have installed the software driver

 

before you install the module (please refer to

 

Section 2.2 Driver Installation)

After the DLL driver installation is completed, you can now go on to install the USB-4751/4751L module in any USB port that supports the USB 1.1/2.0 standard, on your computer. 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, Win2000/XP will recognize your

 

module as an “unknown device”. After reboot,it will

 

prompt you to provide necessary driver. You should

 

ignore the prompting messages and set up the

 

driver according to the steps described in Sec.2.2.

After your module is installed, you can configure it using the Advantech Device Manager. The Device Driver's Manual can be found at:

Start\Programs\Advantech Automation\Advantech Device Man- ager\Device Driver’s Manual

2.4 Hardware Uninstallation

Though the Advantech USB modules are hot swappable, we still recom- mend you to follow the hardware un-installation procedure to avoid any unpredictable damages to your device or your system.

Step1: Close the applications of the USB module.

Step2: Right click the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” icon on your task bar.
