Caution
To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, leave the
computer off until you finish installing the PCI-MXI-2 module.
MXI-2 Configuration Reference Manual
This section contains general installation instructions for the PCI-MXI-2.
Consult your computer user manual or technical reference manual for
specific instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in your PCI-based computer before installing the PCI-MXI-2.
The power cord grounds the computer and protects it from electrical
damage while you install the module.
2.
Remove the cover or access port to the PCI bus.
3.
Select any available PCI expansion slot.
4.
Locate the metal bracket that covers the cut-out in the back panel of
the chassis for the slot you have selected. Remove and save the
bracket-retaining screw and the bracket cover.
5.
Touch the metal part of the power supply case inside the computer to
discharge any static electricity that might be on your clothes or body.
6.
Line up the PCI-MXI-2 with the MXI-2 connector near the cut-out on
the back panel. Slowly push down on the top of the PCI-MXI-2 until
its card-edge connector rests on the expansion slot receptacle. Using
slow, evenly distributed pressure, press the PCI-MXI-2 straight down
until it seats in the expansion slot.
7.
Reinstall the bracket-retaining screw to secure the PCI-MXI-2 to the
back panel rail.
8.
Check the installation.
9.
Replace the computer cover.
