Hardware Installation
To mechanically install the Delta 410, do the following:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover and position the computer so that you
may easily access its PCI slots.
3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your Delta 410 PCI host card.
Make sure the slot is a PCI slot. If you don't know what "PCI slot"
means, check the owner’s manual for your computer. PCI slots are
distinguishable from ISA slots by being shorter and set back farther
from the outside of the computer, however some newer computers
have only PCI slots.
4. Before removing the Delta 410 PCI host card from its protective anti-static
bag, touch the metal power supply case of the computer in order to
dissipate any static electricity your body may have accumulated. You
might want to pick up a grounding wrist strap (available from electronics
stores like Radio Shack) if you want to be doubly sure you aren't carrying
a static charge that could damage the card.
5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the back of the
computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the computer with a single screw.
6. Position the Delta 410 PCI host card over the target PCI slot and fit the
card loosely over it with the card in the upright position. Press the
card gently but firmly downward into the slot until the card is
completely and squarely seated in the slot. If the card seems difficult
to seat, a slight rocking motion may help.
7. Screw the Delta 410 PCI host card’s metal bracket down into the screw
hole on the back of your computer using the screw you removed in
step 5 above.
8. Place the cover back on your computer.
IMPORTANT: Complete the attachment of your Delta 410 breakout
cable to the PCI card before powering up your computer. Never
