PMC-GPIB
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on your GPIB board. To
avoid electrostatic damage when you handle the board, touch the antistatic plastic package
to a metal part of your system chassis before removing the board from the package.
Complete the following steps to install your PMC-GPIB:
1.
Power off your system.
2.
Find an unused PMC slot in your system. You may need to remove the
host from the system to access the PMC slot.
3.
Remove the corresponding slot filler panel from the host.
4.
Insert the PMC-GPIB into the slot as shown in Figure 1-6. It might be
a tight fit, but do not force the board into place.
