Installing the USB-DIO24/37
To connect the USB-DIO24/37 to the system, connect the USB cable to an available USB port on the computer
or to an external USB hub connected to the computer.
When you connect the USB-DIO24/37 for the first time, multiple Found New Hardware popup balloons open
when the operating system detects the device.
When installation is complete, the USB LED should flash and then remain lit. This indicates that
communication is established between the USB-DIO24/37 and your computer.
If the USB LED turns off
If the USB LED is lit but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-DIO24/37. To
restore communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore
communication, and the USB LED should turn back on.
Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the
USB-DIO24/37, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the
USB-DIO24/37.
