Installing the Eiconcard
If you want the Eiconcard to be available to multiple users on a
LAN, install it in the computer that will function as a gateway for
the LAN.
1 Prepare the computer
Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cable. Wait at
least 30 seconds to ensure that all power has drained from the
system. Remove the cover of the computer according to the
instructions that came with it.
2 Install the Eiconcard
a)
Drain static electricity from your body by touching the metal
chassis (the unpainted metal at the back of your computer).
b)
Locate a slot in your computer that has the same bus type
as the Eiconcard. All Eiconcards (except for the Eiconcard
S94 PCIe and the Eiconcard C91 PCIe LP) can be installed
into either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot. However, only the
Eiconcard S94/66 MHz and Eiconcard S94 V2 can take full
advantage of a 64-bit slot. See “Technical data” on page 37
for more information on the PCI capability of your card.
The Eiconcard S94 PCIe and Eiconcard C91 PCIe LP must be
installed in a PCI express (PCIe) slot. Both cards are
compatible with all PCIe compliant slots.
The C91 PCIe LP is a low-profile card. To install it in a full-
height slot, you must replace the low-profile bracket that is
attached by default with the full-height bracket included in
the package. To do this, remove the retaining screw holding
the bracket to the PC board, and the two jackposts holding
the bracket to the micro-D 25 plug connector. Swap the
brackets, and then fasten with the screw and jackposts.
