Precautions Before Installation

Warning

Caution - Turn off the host computer power before attempting installation. Do not attempt to insert or remove any board with the host computer’s power on.

The following general precautions should be observed:

     Leave the board in its bag until installation.

     Turn off power and wait at least 30 seconds before beginning installation.

     Wear a grounding strap.

     Make certain there is sufficient clearance and that there is a suitable ISA backplane slot to receive each board. All DIO boards must be located in adjacent slots.

     Carefully unpack the new board. Hold the board only by its edge (like a photo negative). Do not drop or handle it roughly.

     Lay the new board on its anti-static bag and follow the General Installation Procedure.
