Before installing the board in your computer, we recommend you read this

Important Notes
1.1.1
Use in Accordance with the Requirements
The PC boards of the ME series are designed for input and output of
digital signals with a PC. Depending on type install the models of the ME-
5310 series into:
a free PCIe slot (PCIe versions) or
a free PXIe slot (PXIe versions)
For installing a plug-in board please read the manual of your PC. Please
follow the notes and the specifications from page 14 on.
Please ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within the PC
housing.
If you connect the ME-63Xtend series to the ME-5310 always use the
special connection cable ME AK-D78/1000 instead of the standard
connection cable ME AK-D78. Otherwise the board will be
irreversibly damaged
.
Note that the computer must be powered up, prior connecting signals
by the external wiring of the board.
As a basic principle, all connections to the board should only be made
or removed in a powered-down state of all components.
Ensure that no static discharge occurs when handling the board or
when connecting/disconnecting the external cable.
