board. To avoid such damage in handling your board, touch the antistatic plastic
package to a metal part of your computer chassis before removing the board from the
package.
Complete the following steps to install your interface:
1.
Make sure that your computer is powered off. Keep the computer plugged in so that it
remains grounded while you install the GPIB hardware.
2.
Remove the top cover (or other access panels) to gain access to the computer expansion
slots.
3.
Find an unused expansion slot in your computer. Your PCI board can be plugged into either
a 3.3 V or 5 V, 32- or 64-bit PCI slot. Your PCI Express card can be plugged into a x1, x4,
x8, or x16 PCI Express slot.
4.
Remove the corresponding slot cover on the back panel of the computer.
5.
Insert the GPIB board into the slot with the GPIB connector sticking out of the opening on
the back panel, as shown in Figure 2. It might be a tight fit, but do not force the board into
place.
Your PCI Express board may be larger than the one shown in the figure.
