Installing the Card
1. Switch off the computer and disconnect the main plug. Disconnect any
other cables if required and open the housing.
2. Use a wrist grounder to ground yourself or briefly touch a metal part of
the computer housing.
3. Select an unused PCI slot and remove the corresponding slot cover
from the computer housing.
4. Install the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the slot cover is
pointing towards the housing. First, carefully press the side facing
away from the computer housing into the interface, then the side
facing the housing.
5. Tighten the slot cover onto the computer housing.
6. Put back the housing cover, reconnect the computer to the power
supply and connect the cables which were removed previously.
Installing the Drivers for the Parallel Port
After installing the hardware you need to install the drivers for the parallel
port. This step is always required, also if you don't want to use the
parallel port. The procedure depends on the operating system.
Windows NT4
To install drivers under Windows NT you need to be logged on as an
administrator.
1. Start the computer.
2. Start the supplied installation wizard for installing the drivers,
ACPCI_INSTALL.EXE. The PCIAKS.INF and PCIAKS.SYS files must
be in the same folder.
3. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
4. Restart the computer.
The card will now be detected automatically. The new parallel port is
generally assigned to LPT2.
