PCI Express Board User’s Manual Hardware Installation

Plugging the Board into an Expansion Slot

Since the BIOS automatically assigns the PCI Express board’s IRQ number and I/O addresses, you must plug the board into one of the computer’s expansion slots before installing the driver.

Step 1: Power off the PC.

WARNING

To avoid damaging your system and board, make sure you turn off your computer before installing the board.

Step 2: Remove the PC’s cover.

Step 3: Remove the slot cover bracket if there is one.

Step 4: Use the onboard DIP Switches to set the transmission mode for each port (see the

	previous section for details); (CP-118EL only)
	Step 5: Plug the PCI Express board firmly into a free PCI Express slot.
	Step 6: Fasten the holding screw to fix the control board in place.
	Step 7: Replace the PC’s cover.
	Step 8: Power on the PC. The BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address.
NOTE	Each MOXA PCI Express board uses one unique IRQ and I/O address, both of which are
	assigned automatically by the PCI BIOS.
	Step 9: Proceed with the software installation discussed in the next chapter, “Software
	Installation.”
