Configuration and Installation
Installation
The PC-TIO-10 can be installed in any unused 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit expansion slot in your
computer. After you make any necessary changes and verify the switch and jumper settings,
record them in the PC-TIO-10 Hardware and Software Configuration Form in Appendix F,
Customer Communication. You are now ready to install the PC-TIO-10.
The following are general installation instructions, but consult the user manual or technical
reference manual of your personal computer for specific instructions and warnings. If you want
to install this board in an EISA-class computer, you can obtain a configuration file for the board
by contacting National Instruments.
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
Remove the top cover or access port to the I/O channel.
3.
Remove the expansion slot cover on the back panel of the computer.
4.
Insert the PC-TIO-10 in an unused 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit slot. It may be a tight fit, but do
not force the board into place.
5.
Screw the mounting bracket of the PC-TIO-10 to the back panel rail of the computer.
6.
Check the installation.
7.
Replace the cover to the computer.
Note: If you have an ISA-class computer and you are using a configurable software package,
such as NI-DAQ, you may need to reconfigure your software to reflect any changes in
jumper or switch settings. If you have an EISA-class computer, you need to update the
computer's resource allocation (or configuration) table by reconfiguring your computer.
See your computer's user manual for information about updating the configuration table.
The PC-TIO-10 board is now installed and ready for operation.
