2. Hardware Installation
Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document carefully,
before you start with the hardware installation!
Danger!
Electric shock risk. Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components. To avoid
this, please discharge the static electricity from your body by touching the metal
case of the
PCI
before
you touch the CAN-PCI/331.
Procedure:
1.
Switch off your computer and all connected peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.). Switch
off the connected CAN devices.
2.
Discharge your body as described above.
3.
Disconnect the power supply of the PC from the mains.
If the computer does not have a flexible mains cable, but is directly connected to mains,
disconnect the power supply via the safety fuse and make sure that the fuse cannot switch
on again unintentionally (i.e. with caution label).
Danger!
