Installing the DFlex-4/104 Adapter in your System
To install your DFlex-4/104 adapter in your system follow these
steps:
Computer components are very sensitive to static electricity.
When installing adapters in your computer make sure that you
wear an anti-static wristband. Handle the adapter by its edges
and place it on the anti-static bag or an anti-static mat.
1. Turn the power off to your system.
2. Open your system to expose the PC/104 bus connector
(consult the system documentation for information on this
procedure.)
3. Place the DFlex-4/104 adapter in the bus connector and push
down gently until the card seats in the connector.
Note: Do not force the card into the bus connector. If you meet a
great deal of resistance remove the board and try again.
4. Secure the DFlex-4/104 adapter with the appropriate
fasteners or spacers (consult the system documentation for
information on this procedure).
5. Close your system.
