Two slots are required at the rear of the PC - one for the two 20 way analogue port
sockets, and one for the 40 way socket at the end of the wide ribbon cable for the digital
ports. Use screws to secure the card and ribbon socket plates to the casing of the PC.
Carefully install the interface card in a spare slot on the PC motherboard (or in a slot on
the passive backplane if your PC has this type of architecture - common with some 19
inch rack mounted PC's). If in any doubt as to the correct procedure consult the
documentation supplied with the PC.
Before opening the computer it is important to ensure that the computer is switched off
and that the mains power supply is not connected.
Once you have opened the computer, check to see if there are any other cards installed,
for example a network or sound card. It is important to determine the addresses of any
such cards as your Twin Rotor MIMO System will not function correctly if there is another
card using all, or part of, the address space assigned to the PCL-812PG interface card.
