PCIe-DIO96H User's Guide
Unpacking the PCIe-DIO96H
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PCIe-DIO96H from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by
simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If your PCIe-DIO96H is damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or
e-mail.
Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.
Fax: 508-946-9500 to the attention of Tech Support

For international customers, contact your local distributor where you purchased the PCIe-DIO96H.
Installing the software
Install the software included with your board before you install the hardware. Installing the software first
ensures that the information required for proper board detection is installed and available at boot up.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data
Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at
Quick-Start.pdf.
Installing the hardware
The PCIe-DIO96H is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board.
Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the
MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing
the software.
1. Power off and unplug the computer, and remove the cover to expose the expansion slots.
2. Touch any metal part of the computer to discharge static electricity that may be present. Static electricity
can damage the board.
3. Insert the PCIe-DIO96H into an unused x1 PCIe expansion slot.
The PCIe-DIO96H is designed to install into an x1 slot. However, you can also install the board into an
unused x4, x8, or x16 PCIe slot.
Caution! Ensure that you install the board into a PCI Express slot. Installing the PCIe-DIO96H into a non-
PCIe slot can damage both the board and the computer's motherboard.
4. Connect the board's external power connector to one of the computer's four-pin Molex power connectors.
The board's Molex power connections are shown here.
