PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 User's Guide
Unpacking the board
The PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 boards are shipped in an antistatic container to
prevent damage by an electrostatic discharge. To avoid such damage, perform the
following procedure when unpacking and handling your board.
1.
Before opening the antistatic container, ground yourself with a wrist-grounding
strap or by holding onto a grounded object (such as the computer chassis).
2.
Touch the antistatic container to the computer chassis before removing the board
from the container.
3.
Remove the board from the container. Never touch the exposed pins or circuit
connections on the board.
Installing the software
Install the InstaCal software included with your board before you install the hardware.
If you ordered the Universal Library software, install that software instead. InstaCal is
installed at the same time as the Universal Library.
Installing the software first ensures that the information required for proper board
detection is installed and available at boot up. The procedure for installing InstaCal is
explained in the Software Installation Manual included with your board (and also
available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-installation.pdf)..
Installing the hardware
The PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 board 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.
1.
Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
2.
Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as
Windows 95 or Windows 2000), a dialog box displays as the system loads,
indicating that new hardware has been detected. If the information file for this board
is not already loaded onto your PC, you are prompted for the disk containing this
file. The InstaCal software supplied with your board contains this file. If required,
insert the disk or CD and click
.
