    In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DUAL-AC5 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.
  • Page 10: Unpacking The Board

    As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DUAL-AC5 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.
  • Page 11: Connecting The Board For I/O Operations

     CIO-TERM100  SCB-50 The PCI-DUAL-AC5 connector is accessible through the PCI slot expansion bracket. The connector is a standard 100-pin header connector. If you are connecting to the SSR-PB24 or equivalent, we recommend using the C100FE-x series cable, which splits the 100-pins into two edge-connectors which you can then connect to two SSR-PB24 racks.
