3-2 Setting Up the Hardware for the Example Network
Make sure you know how to:
•
install hardware in your computer
•
configure the computer’s options before you install the PCID(S)
Consult your computer’s documentation for specific information.
To install the card:
1. Gain access to the computer’s expansion slots.
2. Insert the card into an open PCI slot in the computer.
Accessing the Computer’s Expansion Slots
To install the PCIDS card, you must access the computer’s expansion
slots. Refer to your computer’s user guide for instructions on how to:
•
Power down the host computer by turning off the power switch
•
Remove the computer’s cover
•
Locate a vacant PCI expansion slot
•
Remove the slot’s expansion cover
ATTENTION
!
The PCIDS card uses CMOS technology, which is
highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD
may be present whenever you are handling the card.
Handling a card without any EDS protection can
cause internal circuit damage that may not be
apparent during installation or initial use.
Take these precautions to guard against electrostatic
damage:
•
Before handling the card, be sure to touch a
grounded object such as a PC’s metal chassis to
discharge any built-up static charge.
•
Avoid touching the backplane connector or
interface connector pins.
•
When the card is not in use, store it in the
anti-static bag in which it was shipped.
IMPORTANT
Remember, a computer with AC power disconnected
is
not
a grounded object.
