Installing the Echo Adapter in your System
To install your Echo adapter in your computer follow these steps:
Computer components are very sensitive to static electricity.
Make sure that you wear an anti-static wrist-band when
installing adapters in your computer. Handle the adapter by its
edges and place it on the anti-static bag or an anti-static mat.
1.
Turn the power off to your computer.
2.
Open your computer to expose the expansion slots (consult
the system documentation for information on this procedure.)
3.
Choose an available 8 or 16-bit expansion slot.
4.
Remove the screw and the expansion slot cover from the slot
you select and save both.
5.
Place the Echo adapter in the expansion slot and push down
gently until the card seats fully in the slot.
Note:
Do not force the card into the expansion slot. If you meet
a great deal of resistance, remove the board and try again.
6.
Align the mounting bracket and secure the board with the
screw that you saved.
7.
Close your computer.
