Installing the Hardware
Before installing the board, carefully read Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of this manual and configure the
board according to your requirements. The SETTINGS Program can be used to assist in configuring
jumpers on the board. Be especially careful with Address Selection. If the addresses of two installed
functions overlap, you will experience unpredictable computer behavior. To help avoid this problem,
refer to the FINDBASE.EXE program installed with the software package. The settings program does
not set the options on the board, these must be set by jumpers.
To Install the Board
1.
Install jumpers for selected options and base address according to your application
requirements, as mentioned above.
2.
Remove power from the PC/104 stack.
3.

Carefully plug the board onto the PC/104 connector on the CPU or onto the stack, ensuring
proper alignment of the pins before completely seating the connectors together.
5.
Install I/O cables onto the board’s I/O connectors and proceed to secure the stack together or
repeat steps 3-5 until all boards are installed using the selected mounting hardware.
6.
Check that all connections in your PC/104 stack are correct and secure then power up the
system.
