2.5 PCI-8164/PXI-8164 hardware installation
2.5.1 Hardware configuration
Since the PCI-8164/PXI-8164 card is Plug and Play, the memory
allocation (I/O port locations) and the IRQ channel are automati-
cally assigned by the system BIOS. The address assignment is
done on a board-by-board basis for all PCI cards installed in the
system.
2.5.2 PCI slot selection
The PCI-8164 card may be installed in any available PCI slot. The
PXI-8164 card may be installed in any PXI slot.
CAUTION Do not install the PCI card into a PC/AT (ISA) slot.
2.5.3 Installing the PCI-8164 card
1. Discharge any static buildup from your body by touching
the metal case of the computer. Hold the card on its
edges and avoid touching the components.
2. Set the card jumper(s) according to your requirements.
3. Turn off the computer and all connected peripherals,
then open the computer chassis.
4. Locate a 32-bit PCI slot. PCI slots are shorter than ISA
or EISA slots and usually comes in white or ivory.
5. Remove the metal bracket opposite the slot you want to
use. Keep the bracket screw for later use.
6. Insert the PCI card connectors (golden fingers) to the
slot, then press firmly until the card is properly seated on
the slot.
7. Secure the card with the bracket screw you removed
earlier, then replace the computer chassis.
8. Connect all peripherals, then turn the computer on.
