ADLINK PCI-8158 - Manual (Page 21)

Installation 11
2.3.2 PCI slot selection
Your computer system may have both PCI and ISA slots. Do not
force the PCI card into a PC/AT slot. The PCI-8158 can be used in
any PCI slot.
2.3.3 Installation Procedures
1. Read through this manual and setup the jumper accord-
ing to your application
2. Turn off your computer. Turn off all accessories (printer,
modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer. Remove
the cover from your computer.
3. Select a 32-bit PCI expansion slot. PCI slots are shorter
than ISA or EISA slots and are usually white or ivory.
4. Before handling the PCI-8158, discharge any static
buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the
computer. Hold the edge of the card and do not touch
the components.
5. Position the board into the PCI slot you have selected.
6. Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system
unit using screws removed from the slot.
2.3.4 Troubleshooting
If your system doesn’t boot or if you experience erratic operation
with your PCI board in place, it’s most likely caused by an interrupt
conflict (possibly an incorrect ISA setup). In general, the solution,
once determined it is not a simple oversight, is to consult the BIOS
documentation that comes with your system.
Check the control panel of the Windows system if the card is listed
by the system. If not, check the PCI settings in the BIOS or use
another PCI slot.
