Be sure there are no shipping and handling damage on the module before continuing. You are now ready to install your PCI-6308. Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
2.5 Hardware Installation Outline Hardware configuration The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and play PCI controllers, it can request base addresses and interrupts according to the PCI standard. The system BIOS will assign the system resources based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by the system BIOS).
Device Installation for Windows Systems Once Windows 98/2000/XP has started, the Plug and Play func- tions of the Windows system will find and locate the new NuDAQ/ NuIPC card. If this is the first time a NuDAQ/NuIPC card is installed in your Windows system, you will be prompted to input the device information source.
