INSTALLATION
Important: Observe Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the
SuperFASTCOM board.
1. Unpack
the Super FASTCOM adapter. Keep the box and static bag for warranty repair
returns.
2. Select an open PCI slot in your PC.
a. The SuperFastcom requires that the selected PCI slot be capable of bus mastering.
The card will not function correctly if installed into a non-bus mastering slot.
b.
If possible, install the SuperFastcom into one of the Primary PCI slots. If you are
installing into a Secondary PCI slot (i.e., on the other side of a PCI bridge), make sure
that your motherboard’s PCI bridge is properly installed in your operating system
before proceeding with the installation. If you do not have more than three PCI slots,
then none of the slots are secondary.
3.
After removing the blank bracket from your PC, install the Super FASTCOM in the PC by
pressing it firmly into the slot. Install the bracket screw to hold it firmly in place.
4.
Re-install the cover on your PC.
5. Install
the Super FASTCOM cable.

TESTING THE INSTALLATION
To fully test the installation of your SuperFastcom, you will
need to build a "loop back plug". Materials needed are a
DB25 female receptacle (solder cup style) and a few short
pieces of 20 or 24 AWG stranded wire. Jumper the pins
together on the DB25 as illustrated:
