and the card index you want to add in your configuration. The
card index represents the sequence number of the cards
belonging to the same card type series plugged in the PCI slots.
The card index number setting is according to the PCI slot
sequence on the computer. The first card (in the most prior slot)
is with card index 0. For example, suppose there are one PCI-
9111DG card, one PCI-9111HR card, and two PCI-9112 cards
plugged on your PC. PCI-9111DG card is plugged in the prior
slot than the PCI-9111HG card. The PCI-9111DG card should
be set to card index 0. The PCI-9111HR card set to card index 1.
The PCI-9112 card in the prior slot set to card index 0. The other
PCI-9112 card set to card index 1. The following table categories
