Caution
The connectors of both the PCI device and the connector block are polarized.
You can attach them in only one way. Do
not
force the connector block when inserting it
into or removing it from the PCI device I/O connector. Make sure that the computer is
powered off before inserting the PCI device.
1.
Install the PCI device into the computer as described in the
DAQ Quick
Start Guide
. You must install the CB-37F-LP connector block on the
PCI device
after
the device is installed in the computer.
Caution
The CB-37F-LP is not designed for input voltages greater than 42 V
pk
, even if you
install a voltage divider that reduces the voltage to within the input range of the DAQ
device. Input voltages greater than 42 V
pk
can damage the CB-37F-LP, any device
connected to it, and the host computer. Overvoltage also can cause an electric shock hazard
for the operator. National Instruments is
not
liable for damage or injury resulting from such
misuse.
