2.1

Configuring the Card

Before installing the PCAN-PC/104-Plus card into a PC/104 stack, you
may have to configure it using jumpers on the PCB.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.
2.1.1

Setting the Position in the PC/104 Stack

For communication with the host the PCAN-PC/104-Plus card uses
the PCI interface where specific relations between the lengths of the
signal lines must be met. Different line lengths result from different
positions of a PC/104-Plus card in a PC/104 stack.
Therefore, the PCAN-PC/104-Plus card must be adjusted to a specific
position in the stack by setting the appropriate jumpers. The spatial
distance to the host results in the index for the assignment of the
jumpers.
