1.1 Important Notes
1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements
The plug-on boards of the ME-5000 series require a base board of
the ME-5000 series and will be plugged onto these and extend the
functionality of the base boards. Depending on the PC platform the
plug-on board additionally needs:
a free PCI-Express slot (PCIe) or
a free CompactPCI slot (cPCI)
however, without using the PCI slot connector.
Please follow the instructions of chapter 2.3 on page 11 of this
document and the manual of your computer for the procedure when
fitting additional hardware components.
Please follow the notes and the specifications starting on page 29.
 Ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within the PC
housing.
 All unused inputs should be connected to the ground reference
of the appropriate functional section. This avoids cross talk be-
tween the input lines.
 When using the configuration “pulse generator” (FO) unused
output pins should not be connected.
