4  Kvaser PCI104 Installation 

 
For easy installation, all Kvaser PCI104 boards are Plug & Play. For best results, install the 
device drivers first. Follow the instructions on the Kvaser CD to do so. Important 

– you must 

read this entire chapter before installing your Kvaser PCI104 board. 
 

4.1  Install Hardware  

 
For driver installation and firmware update, see the driver installation documentation on the 
Kvaser CD. To install the hardware, follow these steps: 
 

 

Power down the computer. 

 

For your personal safety, unplug the computer from mains. 

 

Touch the metal chassis of the computer before you remove the Kvaser PC104+ from 
its protective antistatic plastic bag. 

 

Insert the board anywhere in a PCI-104/PC-104+ stack. 

 

Power up the computer.  

 

4.2  Updated Drivers and Device Firmware 

 
Updated drivers and device firmware is available from our web site, http://www.kvaser.com. 
 

4.3  Setting the I/O Address Range 

 
The computer’s BIOS is responsible for allocating an address range for use by the card. This 
is normally done when the computer starts. The address range can normally not be adjusted.  
 

4.4  Setting the Interrupt 

 
The computer’s BIOS is responsible for allocating the interrupt vector. Normally you can’t 
change this allocation, although some computer BIOS’s will let you do so. 
 
Note that it is perfectly normal for PCI devices to share a single interrupt in the PC. Kvaser 
PCI104 will work without problems when sharing the interrupt with other PCI devices.
