2.7.1 Precautions
MiniPCIeCANFD series interface cards are electrostatic sensitive products and should be packed in a
special anti-static protective bag before delivery. Therefore, when operating the interface card, take necessary
protective measures to ensure that the interface card is not damaged by human contact with static electricity.
The MiniPCIeCANFD interface card should be installed when the PC/industrial computer has been
powered
off
. Similarly, the interface card should also be disassembled when the PC/industrial computer is powered off.
MiniPCIeCANFD series interface cards do not have any switches and jumpers for assigning interrupts and
I/O addresses, which are automatically assigned by the computer BIOS. Therefore, the board must be installed in
the MiniPCI-E slot before you install the driver. Figure 2.3 shows the installation procedure:
1. Power off the computer and open the computer case cover;
2. Insert the end of the MiniPCIeCANFD series interface card diagonally upward into the free MiniPCI-E slot,
and then gently press it down;
3. Tighten the screws to fix the board;
4. Power on the computer. At this time, the BIOS automatically assigns interrupts and I/O addresses to the
MiniPCIeCANFD interface card;
5. Install the driver.
