Step
Action
1
If you will be running in Plug-and-Play mode (see the "ISA/Plug-and-
Play Mode" section on page -11), skip to Step 3. If you will be running
in ISA mode, determine a COM port and IRQ that is not already
assigned in your computer. This can be done using a hardware
diagnostics application such as MSDOS' MSD utility.
2
If you need to set a different COM and/or IRQ than the defa ult,
reconfigure your Vanguard 100 PC according to the directions given in
the "COM Port and Interrupt Settings" section on page -12.
Note:
The Vanguard 100 PC is shipped set to COM 4 and IRQ 3.
3
If you have ordered an optional DIM or daughtercard, install it on the
Vanguard 100 PC according to the directions given in Chapter 3,
Optional Hardware Installation.
4
Ensure that the Control Port (CP) switch on the Vanguard is set to the
ENABLED position to allow you to access the Control Port when the
PC starts up. (See Figure 1-8 for the location of this switch.) See
Chapter 4, Software Configuration and Control Port Access, for more
information about accessing your Control Port.
Note:
This step is only necessary if the default configuration is different
from your desired configuration.
5
Turn off the computer and unplug it from the AC outlet.
6
Remove your computer's cover. (Refer to your PC User's Guide.)
7
Select any available, full and unobstructed ISA or VESA slot and
remove the blanking panel.
Note:
If you have installed an optional daughtercard, you must install
the Vanguard 100 PC in 2 consecutive slots in the PC. Therefore, you
must remove the blanking panels from both slots, but the second ISA
connector will not be used.
8
Carefully slide the Vanguard 100 PC into the slot(s) you have chosen,
applying even pressure until the card is completely seated in the
connector and aligned in the slot (see Figure 1-3).
9
Fasten the back panel retaining bracket(s) to the PC chassis with the
screw(s) from the blanking panel(s).
10
Replace the computer cover and plug in your computer.
