Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: Electrical Hazard

Disconnect all power from the host computer and follow all Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures before opening the chassis or handling the module. Failure to de-energize the system can result in severe electrical shock, equipment damage, and personal injury.

1 Ensure the host PC is fully de-energized and disconnected from its power source. Verify zero energy state.
2 Use a properly grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap and connect it to an unpainted metal surface of the computer chassis to prevent static damage to the card.
3 Open the computer chassis and select a vacant, compatible PCI slot. Remove the corresponding metal slot cover from the back of the chassis.
4 Carefully align the card's edge connector with the PCI slot and press down firmly and evenly until the card is fully seated.
5 Secure the card's metal mounting bracket to the chassis using the screw removed from the slot cover.
6 Connect the PROFIBUS network cable to the port on the card's bracket. Ensure the connector is securely fastened.
7 Replace the computer chassis cover, reconnect power, and proceed with software installation and configuration.
