Installing the HP-IB Interface
Before installing the HP-IB card note the setting of the rotary DIP switch setting on the
card. Each 81488 (488-66511) card installed in the computer must have a unique switch
setting. It is a good idea to write the switch setting on the metal support bracket with a
felt tipped pen.
Refer to the Owner’s Guide of your computer for instructions on opening your computer
and installing PCI boards.
Follow the instructions being careful to handle the TAMS interface board only by its
edges. After the board has been plugged in and the retaining screw installed, the
computer should be reassembled.
Depending on the computer, is may be advisable to connect the small Cannon connector
of the required HP-IB cable to the TAMS interface card prior to fully seating the PCI
board. Ensure that the thumbscrews and the small connector are tight for a good
connection.
