Appendix A: Card Removal and Replacement 19
Hardware Setup Changes
When Removing a Card
In this case, the Hardware Setup dialog will re-
flect the change by setting the removed inputs
and outputs to None. The remaining inputs and
outputs will function normally.
For example, if you remove the Analog Input
card, the Analog Input tab will disappear from
the Hardware Setup dialog.
You will also lose the configuration of any pairs
of inputs or outputs that were assigned to the
card being removed.
Replacing an I/O Card
To replace a card:
1 Power off and disconnect the 96 I/O from
your HD system.
2 Make sure that the 96 I/O is plugged in so that
it is grounded.
3 Remove the top cover of the 96 I/O by extract-
ing all of the 16 small phillips-head screws
around the edges of the top cover, and lifting it
off.
4 If the card you are replacing is still connected
to the 96 I/O, see “Removing an I/O Card” on
page 17.
5 To discharge any static electricity, touch the
power supply casing. It is a good idea to do this
often, throughout the process.
6 Look into the empty bay to locate the guide
rails for the card to slide in on.
7 Slide the edges of the card into the guide rails
on each side of the bay. Push the card all the way
in until the card’s faceplate is nearly flush with
the rear panel of the 96 I/O.
8 Screw the card’s faceplate onto the rear panel
surface of the 96 I/O with the same screws you
removed from the empty bay cover.
