Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on these GPIB boards. To avoid
electrostatic damage when you handle the board, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal
part of your system chassis before removing the board from the package.
Complete the following steps to install your PMC-GPIB:
1. Turn off your system.
2. Find an unused PMC slot in your system. You may need to remove the host from the system to
access the PMC slot.
3. Remove the corresponding slot filler panel from the host.
4. Insert the PMC-GPIB into the slot as shown in Figure 18. It might be a tight fit, but do not force
the board into place.
