The modules are hot swappable, which means they can be inserted into or removed
from the slots freely even when the chassis is powered on. The software driver will
detect the insertion and removal of the modules automatically. Before removing a
module, however, be sure that no I/O-side power is connected to it.
For detailed installation instruction, please refer to 2.3.

Board ID
A board ID can be assigned to the iDAQ chassis by the rotary switch. The board ID
will be shown in the software and can be used to distinguish each chassis. The num-
ber shown besides the rotary switch is in hexadecimal format. For example, "A" rep-
resent 10 in decimal format, and "F" represents 15 in decimal format. Refer to 3.8 for
detailed description.

Chassis Grounding Screw
To ensure the specified EMC performance, the iDAQ chassis must be connected to
the earth ground point through chassis grounding screw.

Driver Installation
The drivers for iDAQ chassis are included in drivers of iDAQ modules. You only need
to install the drivers for iDAQ modules via XNavi installer, so that the iDAQ modules
will be recognized by your system.
The driver package can be found on the Advantech Support Portal (https://
www.advantech.com/support). Search for iDAQ on the support portal, then the corre-
sponding driver/SDK package can be found. You'll get the XNavi installer after the
download session finishes.
Execute the installer, then it will guide you through the session. You can choose the
device and software components you'd like to install in the system (Figure 1.3). After
the selection, click on "start" to begin the installation.
