OPTO DIO Reference Installation
Figure 7-3. Removing Blanking Cover._________________________________
STEP 4 Choose an empty
expansion slot. The Opto card
will fit either a full length or a
short slot, a 8 bit PC type slot
or a 16 bit AT type slot. In
general it is wise to leave the
larger slots free for those
boards that insist on greater
room. Remove the blanking
cover protecting the slot on the
PC back panel. KEEP the
blanking cover screw safely
for later.
Figure 7-4. Inserting The Opto Card.________________________________
STEP 5 Now insert the Opto
card in the slot. Be careful to
ensure that the gold plated pcb
fingers fits neatly into the i/o
expansion connector. Press
down firmly but evenly on the
top of the Opto card.
STEP 6 The 50 way IDC
connector should fit neatly
through the slot’s aperture to
the outside world.
Use the screw kept back from the blanking cover to screw the
Opto retaining bracket into the PC back panel housing.
