to a metal part of the system chassis to discharge electrostatic energy, which can damage
several components on the PCI-FBUS card.
To install the PCI-FBUS card, complete the following steps.
1.
Shut down and power off the computer. Keep the computer plugged in
so that it remains grounded while you install the PCI-FBUS card.
2.
Remove the top cover or access port of the I/O channel.
3.
Remove the expansion slot cover on the back panel of the computer.
4.
As shown in Figure 1, insert the PCI-FBUS card into any unused PCI
slot with the Fieldbus connector protruding from the opening on the
back panel. Make sure all pins are inserted an equal depth into the
connector. Although it might be a tight fit, do
not
force the card into
place.
