The CIO-DUAL-AC5 Base switch can be set for an address in the range of 000-3E0, so it should not be hard to
find a free address area for your CIO-DUAL-AC5. If you are not using IBM prototyping cards, or some other
board which occupies these addresses, then 300-31F HEX are free to use. Addresses not specifically listed,
such as 390-39F, are free.
Installing the CIO-DUAL-AC5
After you configure the board's switches and jumpers, you can install the CIO-DUAL-AC5 into your computer.
To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install
the MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on
installing the software.
1. Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available ISA slot.
2. Close your computer and turn it on.
3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility you installed in the previous
section. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your boar
for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.
