Physical Installation
Extreme care should be taken when installing the adapter to avoid causing damage to the connectors. After
the adapter is installed, connect your I/O cables. Please note these headers are keyed so that pin 1 of the
cable matches pin 1 of the connector. Refer to Card Setup for information on setting the address and IRQ
before inserting the adapter onto the stack.
1.
Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.
2.
Remove the case cover (if applicable).
3.
Gently insert the adapter noting proper key orientation of the expansion connector on a PC/104
compatible card. The adapter is keyed per the current PC/104 Specification. This will aid in
preventing the adapter from being inserted incorrectly.
4.
Mounting hardware (nylon stand-offs and screws) is provided to ensure a good mechanical
connection. Retain any mounting hardware not used to allow for future expansion.
5.
The cables provided are keyed and can be installed before or after the adapter is inserted in the
stack.
6.
Replace the cover.
7.
Connect the power cord and power up the machine.
Installation is complete.
