Board ID
The PCI-1730/1733/1734 has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card's ID
when multiple PCI-1730/1733/1734 cards have been installed on the same PC chas-
sis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system with
multiple PCI-1730/1733/1734 cards. With correct Board ID settings, you can easily
identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software program-
ming.
