Again, remove the retaining screw and slot cover, saving the screw for use later.
5.
Remove one card from its anti-static bag.
6.
Plug this card into one slot. Make sure the card seats securely in the edge card connector on the
motherboard. Secure the card in the slot using the screw from Step 3.
NOTE: All the gold fingers on the lower edge on this card must be in a motherboard edge connector.
7.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the second card, locating it in the second slot.

Do not close up the computer yet.
Connecting the Internal Cables
1. Locate the 26 pin headers (group of 26 pins) on both the Controller and Potentiostat cards. They
are in the upper right hand side of each card.
2. Examine the ribbon cable that came with the PCI4 Potentiostat. Each end of this cable has a 26
pin connector on it. The two ends of the cable are identical and therefore interchangeable.
3. Plug one end of this ribbon cable into the 26 pin header on the Controller card.
4. Repeat step 5 using the other end of the cable and the header on the Potentiostat card. We
recommend that the colored stripe on the cable faces the left side of both cards (nearest the metal
bracket).
5. Locate the power input connector on the upper left side on the PCI4 Controller card. This mates
with a "disk drive" power cable from the PC's power supply. Locate an unused power cable and
connect it to the PCI4 power input connector. A power cable extender was supplied with the
PCI4, in case the computer's disk drive power cable is too short.
Note that the power cables can only mate in one direction. If the power cable will not plug into
the PCI4 card, rotate the cable 180°.
6. Carefully double check your work.
