Hardware Installation

To mechanically install the Delta TDIF, do the following:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Remove the computer's cover and position the computer so that you
may easily access its PCI slots.
3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your Delta TDIF PCI host
card. Make sure the slot is a PCI slot. If you don't know what "PCI
slot" means, check the owner's manual for your computer. PCI slots
are distinguishable from ISA slots by being shorter and set back
farther from the outside of the computer, however some newer
computers have only PCI slots. Newer Macintoshs will have only PCI
slots.
4. Before removing the Delta TDIF PCI host card from its protective anti-
static bag, touch the metal power supply case of the computer in order
to dissipate any static electricity your body may have accumulated.
You might want to pick up a grounding wrist strap (available from
electronics stores like Radio Shack) if you want to be doubly sure you
aren't carrying a static charge that could damage the card.
5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the back of
the computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the computer with a
single screw.
6. Position the Delta TDIF PCI host card over the target PCI slot and fit
the card loosely over it with the card in the upright position. Press the
card gently but firmly downward into the slot until the card is
completely and squarely seated in the slot. If the card seems difficult
to seat, a slight rocking motion may help.
7. Screw the Delta TDIF PCI host card's metal bracket down into the
bracket hole on the back of your computer using the screw you
removed in step 5 above.
8. Place the cover back on your computer.
Now it is time to connect the Delta TDIF's breakout cable to the PCI host card
that you have just installed. Never attach the break-out cable with the
computer turned on. Doing so could damage the PCI card, and void your
warranty. Similarly, you should power down your computer before attaching
your TDIF device to the 25-pin connector.
