Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

The installation of the Smartio C104 PCI Series consists of hardware and software

installation. The respective sections of the operating systems in the next chapter deal with

the software installation. The hardware installation is detailed in this chapter.

The no-switch-no-jumper Smartio C104 PCI Series board’s hardware configuration for

IRQ number and I/O addresses is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. Hence, it is a

simply install the control board into the PC and then connect the connection cable.
