Hardwareinstallation
Before installing the CAN interface onto your PC, you should install the soft-
ware driver first (see previous section).
For all work on the PC and interface, you must be statically discharged. Work
must be carried out on an earthed, anti-static work mat.
Take the following steps in sequence:
(1) Switch off the PC and unplug the power cord.
(2) Open the PC according to the instructions of the PC manufacturer
and find a suitable slot. Please note the polarity and the occupancy of the
pin connector in your PC. Do not use force when plugging in.
(3) Make sure that the interface sits tightly in the PC.
(4) Close the PC; the hardware installation is now complete.
