Unpacking the USB-1408FS

As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the USB-1408FS from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by
simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If your USB-1408FS is damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or e-
mail. For international customers, contact your local distributor where you purchased the USB-1408FS.

Installing the hardware

Be sure you are using the latest system software
Before you install your USB-1408FS, run Windows Update to update your operating system with the latest HID
and USB drivers.
To connect the USB-1408FS to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port
on your computer or to an external USB hub that is connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power
and communication to the USB-1408FS.
When you connect the USB-1408FS for the first time, a series of
(Windows XP) or dialogs (other Windows versions) open as the USB-1408FS is detected by your computer.
It is normal for multiple dialogs to open when you connect the USB-1408FS for the first time. For additional
information, refer to the "Notes on installing and using the USB-1408FS" that was shipped with the USB-
1408FS.
The last popup balloon or dialog states "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use," and the LED on the
USB-1408FS should flash and then remain lit. This indicates that communication is established between the
USB-1408FS and your computer.
