Installation – 7

The 5554/5558 Quad/Octal Serial Card uses one slot of the Micro
PC card cage.  It may be used with any Micro PC Control Card or
Microcontroller.

The 5554/5558 contains static sensitive CMOS
components.  The greatest danger occurs when
the card is plugged into a card cage.  The card
becomes charged by the user and the static
discharges to the backplane from the pin closest
to the card connector.  If that pin happens to be
an input pin, even TTL inputs may be damaged.
To avoid damaging your card and its components:

1.

Ground yourself before handling the 5554/
5558 Quad/Octal Serial Card.

2.

Disconnect power before removing or
inserting the 5554/5558 card.
