Cards

This chapter describes how to add or remove keypad interface cards.

Internal components may be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Make sure you wear a grounding strap whenever handling circuit boards,
memory modules or other internal components.

ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded) and
perform work in a static safe environment. Electrostatic
discharge can damage the 6180 Computer and
components.

The Allen-Bradley Keypad Interface card (KIC) is available in several
versions, depending on the bezel configuration option. Only NDM
Model 6180 does not require a KIC. The KIC is an ISA-based add-in
card that handles keypad/keyboard control, touch screen control, touch
mouse control, and LCD backlight brightness and on/off controls.

Two software components may be preinstalled for the KIC, based on
your system configuration: touch screen drivers and utilities, and the
Keypad Configuration Utility (see Chapter 12).

The driver software is preloaded with the operating system on your
computer. If you need to reinstall the driver, the driver software is
provided on the driver diskette (s) provided with your computer.

If you need to reload the driver, follow the instructions for your
operating system.

Intro text. See Figure 12-x for the jumper settings.

To disconnect the cables:

5. Remove the back panel.

6. Remove the mounting screw on the bracket.
