Hardware Installation

To mechanically install the Delta R-BUS, 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 R-BUS 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 R-BUS 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 R-BUS 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.
