for any problems, etc., resulting from modifying this board.
- Do not touch the board's metal plated terminals (edge connector)
with your hands. Doing so could cause connection malfunctions.
If the terminals are touched by someone's hands, clean the
terminals with industrial alcohol.
- There are switches on the board that need to be set in advance. Be
sure to check these before installing the board.
- Only set the switches and jumpers on the board to the specified
settings. Doing otherwise would cause trouble.
- Install the board in the computer's PCI expansion slot.
- Do not install or remove the board to or from the slot while the
computer's power is turned on. Doing so could cause trouble. Be
sure that the personal computer or the I/O expansion unit power is
turned off.
- The sum of the power consumed by the boards installed in the
personal computer's PCI bus expansion slots cannot be larger than
the personal computer's allowable power supply capacity. If the
boards' power sum is larger than this capacity, trouble could
occur.
