Hardware Installation
and Cable Guide
Introduction
The ClassicBoard PCI adapter easily expands the number of EIA-232
ports available on a computer, allowing you to directly add additional
peripheral devices such as point-of-sale peripherals, terminals or serial
printers.
Resources
The hardware resources for the ClassicBoard PCI adapter are dynami-
cally assigned by the operating system each time the system boots.
Installing the ClassicBoard Adapter
Before Installing the Adapter
• Be sure that you have the correct cables for the interface used with
the ClassicBoard.
• Record the adapter serial number (located under the part number
label). This will enable Digi to provide you with better service,
should the need arise.
• Unplug power from the computer.
• Put a ground strap on to ground yourself. If one is not available,
ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the
computer chassis.
Installation Procedure
1. Remove the computer cover.
2. Locate an available PCI slot in your computer and remove the slot
plate.
3. Insert the board into the slot and screw the endplate to the computer
chassis. The endplate must be screwed into the computer chassis to
remain in compliance with Part 15 of FCC rules.
4. Replace the computer cover.
5. Connect the 78-pin connector assembly to the adapter.
