Installing the Hardware
Before installing the board, carefully read Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of this manual and configure the
board according to your requirements. The SETUP Program can be used to assist in configuring
jumpers on the board. Be especially careful with Address Selection. If the addresses of two installed
functions overlap, you will experience unpredictable computer behavior. To help avoid this problem,
refer to the FINDBASE.EXE program installed from the CD. The setup program does not set the options
on
the board, these must be set by jumpers.
