select the Pages radio button, and print pages 68-69.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on these GPIB boards. To avoid such
damage in handling your board, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your
computer chassis before removing the board from the package.
1. Make sure that your computer is turned off. Keep the computer plugged in so that it remains
grounded while you install the GPIB hardware.
2. Remove the top cover (or other access panels) to give yourself access to the computer
expansion slots.
3. Find an unused expansion slot in your computer. The PCI-GPIB requires a PCI slot.
4. Remove the corresponding slot cover on the back panel of the computer.
5. Insert the GPIB board into the slot with the GPIB connector sticking out of the opening on the
back panel, as shown in Figure 16. It might be a tight fit, but do not force the board into place.
