Installation
Please observe the safety instruction for handling assemblies with static sensitive device [refer to the
chapter 4.1 “Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)”].
Failure to take heed of this warning instruction can result in damage to the device.
7.1.1. Adapt the PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single) to a Low Profile Card
If the PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single) is needed as a low profile card, you can replace the standard height bracket
attached, with the corresponding low profile slot bracket (included).
In order to adapt the PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single) to a low profile card follow these steps:
1. Loosen and remove the screws that secure the slot bracket (refer to Fig. 5and Fig. 7). Retain the screws for later use.
2. Remove the bracket (standard height). Retain it for later use.
3. Mount the low profile slot bracket (included) to the card and secure it with the retained screws.
7.1.2. Installation of the PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single)
The PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single) can be installed only in computers with available PCIe slots (e.g. x1, x4, x8 or
x16) for system extension.
In order to install the PCIe Medical LAN Card (Dual/Single) follow these steps:
1. Shut down your application.
2. Turn off the computer and the peripherally devices (printers, monitors, scanner etc.) connected to the computer.
Disconnect them from the mains power.
3. To gain access to the free PCIex1 slot (component of the installed, motherboard, SBC, backplane, riser card), remove
the cover of the computer (refer to the user’s guide of your computer).
4. Locate the unused PCIe expansion slot.
5. Remove the metal slot bracket covering the free chassis card slot.
6. Align the PCIe x1 connector with the PCIe slot of the base board. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge
connectors are firmly seated inside the slot.
Do not act with force when inserting the card. If this seems to be necessary, the card is not inserted
properly into the slot. Remove the card from the slot and re-insert it with care.
7. Position the card into the corresponding socket that was covered by metal bracket previously.
8. Secure the card slot bracket to the chassis using a screw with proper size.
9. Replace the cover and secure it to the chassis (refer to the user’s guide of your computer).
10. Connect the Ethernet cable (not included) to the RJ45 connector of the PCIe Medical LAN Card.
