4.1 Installation of the ADlink-PCI adapter
Protection against ESDIn order to avoid damages at the ADlink PCI adapter, installation into the PC
has to be made in an environment without any electro-statical discharges.
Do not make a connection to the ADwin system. Wait until you read the corre-
sponding information in this manual.
Installation of the ADlink
PCI adapter
Installation of the ADlink PCI adapter:
– Shut down Windows and your PC and remove the power supply con-
nector.
– If you have already installed an ADlink-ISA board which you do not need
any longer, you should remove this board in order to avoid that I/O
addresses will be allocated twice.
– Select an empty slot where enough room is available for the installation
of the board.
Remove the slot metal sheet of the selected slot on the rear of the PC.
– Plug-in the ADlink-PCI board carefully into the selected slot and screw
the metal sheet with the board to the PC enclosure.
Installation of the power
adapter
–For ADwin-Gold only:
If you do not work with an external power supply (optionally available),
you must now also install the power adapter:
• Remove an unused slot metal sheet and install the power adapter
here.
• Connect the adapter’s cable with a free connector of the power
supply cable of the PC power supply unit.
– Close the PC enclosure and connect the power supply cable to the PC.
4.2 Installation of the drivers
Depending on the operating system, the driver installation is always different:
Windows ME, 2000, XP– The operating systems Windows ME, 2000 and XP recognize the ADlink
PCI adapter and start the device manager for installing the drivers. If not,
restart Windows.
The operating system automatically installs a Windows-inherent stan-
dard driver for the PCI board.
Windows 98– The operating system Windows 98 recognizes the ADlink PCI adapter
and starts the device manager for installing the drivers. If not, restart
Windows.
Windows 98 is searching for the best driver (default setting) and asks for
a source directory. Install the drivers from one of the following sources:
• from your Windows installation CDROM (see next picture) or
• from your hard disk, if you have made a copy of the installation
files.
