Installation 7
2 Installation
PCI-9812/10 will perform an automatic configuration of the IRQ
and I/O port address. There is no need to set any configuration,
as you would use in an ISA form factor DAS card. For system
reliability, it is necessary to manually assign some critical settings
for analog input and output, as these settings will not be changed
after your data acquisition system configuration is decided. The
configuration cannot be changed using only the software package
when your system is running.
Please follow the steps below to install the PCI-9812/10 products.
X Go through the checklist (section 2.1)
X Unpacking (section 2.2)
X Check the PCB (section 2.3)
X Install the hardware (section 2.4)
2.1 Checklist
In addition to this User's Guide, the package includes the following
items:
X PCI-9812/10 Enhanced Multi-function Data Acquisition
Card
X Five BNC terminators
X ADLINK All-in-one CD
X Software Installation Guide
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the dealer
from whom this product was purchased. Save the shipping
materials and carton for future shipping or storage.
8Installation
2.2 Unpacking
Your PCI-9812/10 card contains electro-static sensitive
components that can easily be damaged by static electricity.
The card should be handled on a grounded anti-static mat. The
operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at
the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card module carton for obvious damages. Shipping
and handling may cause damage to your module. Be sure there
are no shipping and handling damages on the modules carton
before continuing.
After opening the card module carton, extract the system module
and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface with component
side up.
Again, inspect the module for damages. Press down on all the
socketed IC's to make sure they are properly seated. Do this only
with the module placed on a flat firm surface.
You are now ready to install your card.
Note: Do not attempt to install a damaged board onto the
computer.

10 Installation
2.4 Hardware Installation Outline
PCI configuration
The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with a Plug
and Play PCI controller, it can request base addresses and
interrupt according to PCI standard. The system BIOS will install
the system resource based on the PCI cards’ configuration
registers and system parameters (which are set by system BIOS).
Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port locations) of the
PCI cards can be assigned by system BIOS only. These system
resource assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is
not recommended to assign the system resource by any other
methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI card can be inserted to any PCI slot without any
configuration for system resource. Please note that the PCI
system board and slot must provide bus-mastering capability to
operate this board well.
Installation Instructions
1. Turn off your computer
2. Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.)
connected to your computer.
3. Remove the cover from your computer.
4. Setup jumpers on the PCI or CompactPCI card.
5. Select a 32-bit PCI slot. PCI slot are short than ISA or
EISA slots, and are usually white or ivory.
6. Before handling the PCI cards, discharge any static
buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the
computer. Hold the edge and do not touch the
components.
7. Position the board into the PCI slot selected.
8. Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system.
