Installing the Board
Unpacking the board
Each PCI-PDISO16 board is shipped in an antistatic container to prevent damage by an
electrostatic discharge. To avoid such damage, perform the following procedure when
unpacking and handling your board:
1.
2.
3.
Before opening the antistatic container, ground yourself with a wrist-grounding
strap or by holding onto a grounded object (such as the computer chassis).
Touch the antistatic container to the computer chassis before removing the board
from the container.
Remove the board from the container.
Never
touch the exposed pins or circuit
connections on the board.
Installing the software
We recommended that you install the
Insta
Cal software included with your board
before
you install the hardware. If you ordered the Universal Library software, install that
software instead.
Insta
Cal is installed at the same time as the Universal Library.
Installing the software first ensures that the information required for proper board
detection is installed and available at boot up. The procedure for installing
Insta
Cal is
explained in the
Software Installation Manual
included with your board (and also
available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-installation.pdf
).
If you ordered the Universal Library…
If you ordered the optional Universal Library, use that CD to install both
Insta
Cal and
the Universal Library.
