Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Initial Inspection
Before starting to install PCI-1757UP, make sure there is no visible dam-
age on the card. We carefully inspected the card both mechanically and
electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and in perfect
order on receipt.
As you unpack PCI-1757UP, check for signs of shipping damage (dam-
aged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is damaged or fails to meet its speci-
fications, notify our service department or your local sales representative
immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain the shipping
carton and packing materials for inspection by the carrier. We will then
make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
2.2 Unpacking
PCI-1757UP contains components that are sensitive and vulnerable to
static electricity. Discharge any static electricity on your body to ground
by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal) before you
touch the board.
Remove the PCI-1757UP card from its protective packaging by grasping
the card's rear panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static dis-
charge which could damage its integrated circuits. Keep the antistatic
package. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, please store the
card in this package for its protection.
You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Check the product contents inside
the packing. There should be one card, one CD-ROM, an extra bracket
and this manual. Make sure nothing is missing.
2.3 Jumper & Switch Settings
We designed PCI-1757UP with ease-of-use in mind. It is a Plug & Play
card, i.e. the system BIOS assigns the system resources such as base
address and interrupt automatically. The following section describes how
to configure the card. You may want to refer to the figure below for help
in identifying card components.
