Hardware Installation1. Make sure to set switches and jumpers from either the Option Selection section of this manual or fromthe suggestions of SETUP.EXE.2. Do not install card into the computer until the software has been fully installed.3. Turn OFF computer power AND unplug AC power from the system.4. Remove the computer cover.5. Carefully install the card in an available 5V or 3.3V PCI expansion slot (you may need to remove abackplate first).6. Inspect for proper fit of the card and tighten screws. Make sure that the card mounting bracket isproperly screwed into place and that there is a positive chassis ground.7. Install an I/O cable onto the card’s bracket mounted connector.8. Replace the computer cover and turn ON the computer which should auto-detect the card (dependingon the operating system) and automatically finish installing the drivers.9. Run PCIfind.exe to complete installing the card into the registry (for Windows only) and to determinethe assigned resources.10. Run one of the provided sample programs that was copied to the newly created card directory (from theCD) to test and validate your installation.The base address assigned by BIOS or the operating system can change each time new hardware is installedinto or removed from the computer. Please recheck PCIFind or Device Manager if the hardware configurationis changed. Software you write can automatically determine the base address of the card using a variety ofmethods depending on the operating system. In DOS, the PCI\SOURCE directory shows the BIOS calls usedto determine the address and IRQ assigned to installed PCI devices. In Windows, the Windows sampleprograms demonstrate querying the registry entries (created by PCIFind and NTIOPCI.SYS during boot-up) todetermine this same information.INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONSTo ensure that there is minimum susceptibility to EMI and minimum radiation, it is important that the cardmounting bracket be properly screwed into place and that there be a positive chassis ground. Also, proper EMIcabling techniques (cable connect to chassis ground at the aperture, shielded twisted-pair wires, etc) should beused for the input/output wiring.Manual PCI-DIO-48 H/HS9Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
