Procedure for Adding or
Removing a PCMCIA
Card (cont.)

Figure 2-7: Location of the Controller Board

5.

Use Figure 2-7 to locate the controller board inside the electronics
unit.

6.

The controller board will appear similar to Figure 2-8. Insert the
PCMCIA card into the brackets along the side of the cutout area.
(To remove or replace the card, pull it out of the brackets.) Pin 1 of
the PCMCIA card must line up with Pin 1 of the connector on the
controller card.

Note:

When you are inserting the PCMCIA card, the face of the card
with the arrows must be on the side next the controller board.
The switch settings shown in the insert of Figure 2-8 are
preset at the factory, and must remain at this setting (all
switches down) for normal operation.

7.

Slide the electronics unit back into place on the instrument and
reinsert the screws on the front panel.

8.

Plug in the instrument.
