PCI-bus Data Acquisition Boards
Take ESD precautions!

Step 1 - Install Software

IMPORTANT: Software must be installed before installing hardware.
1. Remove previous version Daq drivers, if present. You can do this through Microsoft's Add/Remove Programs feature.
2. Insert the Data Acquisition CD into your CD-ROM drive and wait for the CD to auto-run. An Opening
Screen will appear. As an alternative, you can download software from: www.iotech.com/ftp.html
3. After the intro-screen appears, follow the screen prompts.
Step 2 – Install Boards in available PCI Bus-slots
IMPORTANT: Bus Mastering DMA must be Enabled on the PCI slot [for which the board is to be installed].
Refer to your PC Owner's Manual as needed.
1. Turn off power to, and UNPLUG the host PC and externally connected
equipment.
2. Remove the PC's cover. Refer to your PC Owner's Manual as needed.
3. Choose an available PCI bus-slot. Lower residual noise will result by
placing the board in a PCI slot which has vacant adjacent slots.
4. Carefully remove the DaqBoard from its anti-static protective bag. If you
have not already done so, write down the serial number of your board at
this time.
5. Remove the screw that secures the blank adapter plate, which is associated
with the PCI slot you will be using.
6. Remove the blank adapter plate.
7. Align the groove in the board's PCI edge-connector with the ridge of the
desired PCI slot, and with the PC's corresponding rear-panel slot.
8. Push the board firmly into the PCI slot. The board will snap into
position.
9. Secure the board by inserting the rear-panel adapter-plate screw.
10. Using the previous steps, install additional boards into available PCI bus-
slots, if applicable to your application.
11. Replace the computer's cover.
12. Plug in all cords and cables that were removed in step 1.
13. Apply power to, and start up the PC.
