Turn power OFF, and UNPLUG the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to
removing any cover plates or modules. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result even
under low-voltage conditions.

Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)

Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle boards by their
edges or ORBs. Ensure boards do not come into contact with foreign elements such as oils, water,
and industrial particulate.

1. Turn the PC’s power OFF.

2. Turn power OFF to externally connected equipment.

3. UNPLUG the host PC and all externally connected

equipment.

4. Remove the computer’s compact-PCI bus-slot cover plate

[or remove an unwanted module, if applicable].
Refer to your PC Owner’s Manual as needed.

5. Verify that the available compact-PCI bus slot is for

5 volt applications.

The computer’s 5 volt compact-PCI bus-slots can be
recognized by a blue voltage key that is located in the
center of the slot (see figure).

6. Carefully remove the DaqBoard/2000c Series Board from

its anti-static protective bag. If you have not already done
so, write down the serial number of your board at this
time. The serial number is located on the 100-pin P4
connector.

7. With the board’s injector/ejector down, guide the board

into the PC’s slot. Note that the top and bottom edges of
the board locate in edge-guides, within the PC.

8. Push the board back into the PC to engage the board’s

compact-PCI connector with the computer’s compact-PCI
bus-slot.

9. Pull the board’s injector/ejector up. This will fully

engage the connectors.

10. Secure the board by tightening the upper and lower lock

screws.

11. Using the previous steps, install additional boards into

available compact-PCI bus-slots, if applicable to your
application.

Note: The lower lock screw is accessed through an opening

on the injector/ejector as indicated in the right-hand
figure.
