installations for Windows NT and Windows 95/98.
Before you configure DriverLINX for operation with the DAS-800 Series
board, you must specify the base address, interrupt level, and input
configuration by setting switches on the board.
To prevent any damage to your DAS-800 Series board, perform the
following steps when unpacking the board:
1. Remove the wrapped DAS-800 Series board from its outer
shipping carton.
2. Making sure that your computer is turned OFF but grounded, hold the
wrapped board in one hand while placing your other hand firmly on a
metal portion of the computer chassis; this discharges any
static electricity.
3. Carefully remove the board from its anti-static wrapping material.
(You may wish to store the wrapping material for future use.)
4. Inspect the board for signs of damage. If any damage is apparent,
arrange to return the board to the factory; refer to Chapter 7 for
more information.
5. Check the remaining contents of your package against the packing list
to ensure that your order is complete. Report any missing items to the
factory immediately.
6. Once you have determined that the board is acceptable, you can
configure the board. Refer to the next section for
configuration options.
