Installing the DFlex-4/104 Adapter in your System

To install your DFlex-4/104 adapter in your system follow these
steps:

Computer components are very sensitive to static electricity.
When installing adapters in your computer make sure that you
wear an anti-static wristband. Handle the adapter by its edges
and place it on the anti-static bag or an anti-static mat.

1. Turn the power off to your system.
2. Open your system to expose the PC/104 bus connector

(consult the system documentation for information on this
procedure.)

3. Place the DFlex-4/104 adapter in the bus connector and push

down gently until the card seats in the connector.


Note: Do not force the card into the bus connector. If you meet a
great deal of resistance remove the board and try again.

4. Secure the DFlex-4/104 adapter with the appropriate

fasteners or spacers (consult the system documentation for
information on this procedure).

5. Close your system.
