Look for suitable expansion slots for both the PC digitizer card and the
GPIB interface card. Choose slots that provide good external access to the
PC Digitizer and GPIB interface connectors. You may want to leave an
empty expansion slot between the cards for easier internal access.
Remove their cover plates by unscrewing the securing screw and lifting
them off the slot. (Save the blank cover plates for use if the cards are
removed later.)
