Hardware Installation
Installing the module on a CPU card
1. Turn the PC’s power off. Turn the power off to any
peripheral devices such as printers and monitors.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from
the back of the computer.
3. Remove the system unit cover
4. Remove the CPU card from the chassis (if necessary)
to gain access to the card’s PCI-104 connector.
5. Screw the brass spacer (included with the module)
into the threaded hole on the CPU card. Do not
tighten too much, or the threads may be damaged.
6. Carefully align the pins of the PCM-3641I/3642I
with the PCI-104 connector. Slide the module into
the connector, do not push too hard.
7. Secure the module to the CPU card to the threaded
hole in the CPU card using the included screw.
8. Attach any accessories to the PCM-3641I/3642I.
9. Reinstall the CPU card and replace the system unit
cover. Reconnect the cables you removed in step 2.
10. Turn the power on.
Connecting to another PCI-104 module.
1. Insert the pins of connector CN15 into the piggy-
back connector on the other PCI-104 module.
2. Screw the PCM-3641I/3642I to the brass spacer. This
completes the hardware installation.
