2.4 Installing plug-in cards  
To install a plug-in card, please proceed as follows:
1. Find the slot(s) which is go to be inserted a card(s), and remove the 
slot's blank bracket(s) attached to the rear plate of the chassis.
2. Insert a plug-in card. Make sure that the card bracket has been inserted 
properly and the other edge of the card has been fixed in the guiding 
rail. Fasten the card at the top of the bracket with a screw.
3. Repeated Step 2 if there is more than one card.
5. Insert the clamp pad(s) into the hold-down clamp. The clamp pads 
cushion the plug-in cards from shock and vibration. The hold-down 
clamp has two rows of notches for the pads to be inserted, one row is 
for PCI cards, the other row for ISA cards. Depending on the card 
height, the buffers can be inserted as the narrow end face upwards or 
downwards.
6. After inserting the clamp pads, return the hold-down clamp and fasten 
it with screws.
Note: Most of Advantech's full-sized CPU cards 
support the front USB function. However, 
only the PCA-6184-B, PCA-6186-B, PCA-
6188, PCA-6190 and the later full-sized 
CPU cards support the front LAN LED 
function.
