Checking resources for the board
Ensure that your computer has sufficient resources, particularly power resources, to run your

System responsibility
The system integrator has final responsibility for the EMC of a system containing Keithley
KPCI-PIO32IOA and KPCI-PDISO8A boards. The user must not assume that installation of the
CE-marked KPCI-PIO32IOA or KPCI-PDISO8A in a CE-marked PC will result in a system
with acceptable RFI emissions.
Unwrapping and inspecting the board
NOTE
Install the DriverLINX software before installing the KPCI-PIO32IOA
or KPCI-PDISO8A board. Otherwise, the device drivers will be more
difficult to install.
After you remove the wrapped board from its outer shipping carton, unwrap and inspect it as
follows:
1. Your board is packaged at the factory in an anti-static wrapper. Do not remove the anti-static
wrapper until you have discharged any static electricity voltage differences between the
wrapped board and the environment. Wear a grounded wrist strap. A grounded wrist strap
discharges static electricity from the wrapped board as soon as you hold it. Keep the wrist
strap on until you have finished installing the board.
2. Remove the board from its anti-static wrapping material. (Store the wrapping material for
future use.)
3. Inspect the board for damage. If damage is apparent, arrange to return the board to the fac-

dummy mounting plate.
4. Insert the PCI connector of the board into the selected PCI slot of the computer. Take care
not to interfere with neighboring boards. Ensure that the board is properly seated in the slot.
5. Secure the mounting bracket of the board to the chassis, using the retaining screw that you
removed when you removed the dummy mounting plate.
