Hardware installation
WARNING
Any attempt to insert or remove a board with the computer power
on could damage your computer.
1.
Turn off power to the PC and all attached equipment.
2.
Remove the cover of the PC as follows: First remove the cover-mounting
screws from the rear panel of the computer. Then, slide the cover of the com-
puter about 3/4 of the way forward. Finally, tilt the cover upwards and
remove.
3.
Choose an available option slot. Loosen and remove the screw at the top of the
blank adapter plate. Then slide the plate up and out to remove.
4.
Hold the PIO-24 board in one hand placing your other hand on any metallic
part of the PC/AT chassis (but not on any components). This will safely dis-
charge any static electricity from your body.
5.
Make sure the board switches have been properly set (refer to the preceding
section).
6.
Align the board connector with the desired accessory slot and with the corre-
sponding rear-panel slot. Gently press the board downward into the socket.
Secure the board in place by inserting the rear-panel adapter-plate screw.
7.
Replace the computer's cover. Tilt the cover up and slide it onto the system's
base, making sure the front of the cover is under the rail along the front of the
frame. Replace the mounting screws.
8.
Plug in all cords and cables. Turn the power to the computer back on.
You are now ready to make any necessary system connections.
