8 Installation
2.2 Unpacking
The ADLINK PCIS-8580 system contains some electro-static sen-
sitive components that can be easily be damaged by static elec-
tricity. For this reason, the card and chassis should be handled on
a grounded anti-static mat and the operator should wear an anti-
static wristband during the unpacking and installation procedure.
Please also inspect the components for apparent damage.
Improper shipping and handling may cause damage to the compo-
nents. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damage on the
components before continuing.
You are now ready to set up your PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expan-
sion system.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD OR CHASSIS IF
IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
2.3 Getting Start
In this section, we’ll illustrate the step-by-step instructions to set
up your PCIS-8580 PCI-to-PCI expansion system.
Install PCI Expansion Card into your Host System
The first step is to install the PCI expansion card (LPCI-8575) into
your host system. You can find an individual carton in the whole
package which contains the PCI expansion card. The steps of
installation are:
1. Turn off your host computer.
2. Open the chassis of the host computer.
3. Remove the package of PCI expansion card. (Please
wear your anti-static facilities when you handle the card.)
4. Plug the PCI expansion card into an available PCI slot
and screw it to the chassis.
5. Close the chassis.
