Black Box 5250, Remote Emulator Card manual Location of the Card’s DIP switch

NAME

6. When you install the Card into the PC, it uses one of the PC’s I/O addresses. The Card is factory-preset to use the base I/O address of 300. Since two cards can’t share the same address (that could cause the PC to crash), you might need to change the 5250 Remote Emulator Card’s address setting. If you do have to change this setting, go to the next step; if you don’t, go to Step 8.

7. Locate the DIP switch in the upper left-hand corner of the Card (see Figure 4-1 below).

Figure 4-1. Location of the Card’s DIP switch.

Using the screwdriver provided with your Card, set the DIP switch to select an unused I/O address (see Table 4-1 on the next page). Write down the address you’ve selected so that you’ll have it handy when you’re ready to do the software configuration.

8.Hold the card by its edges (do not touch the components or circuitry), and insert the card into the expansion slot. Firmly press the card into the PC motherboard’s socket connector. See Figure 4-2 on the next page.

9.Align the slot on the Card’s bracket with the hole you opened when you removed the expansion slot’s cover: Gently lift or press down on the end of the Card opposite the bracket and connector until the slot and hole are properly lined up. If they are not properly aligned, the card will not seat correctly in the PC and will not function properly.
