Installation & ESD Handling Guide

• Completely shut down and unplug your computer before starting the installation.
• Open the computer case and identify a vacant, compatible PCI expansion slot.
• Remove the metal expansion cover from the back of the chosen slot.
• The 1784-PCICS components are highly susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage.
• Always handle the card by its edges and avoid touching any circuitry or connectors.
• Use a grounded wrist strap and work on an ESD-safe mat in a static-free area.
• Store and transport the card in an approved static-safe plastic container.
• Carefully align the card with the slot and firmly press it into place, then secure it with the mounting screw.

Connection & Operational Notes

• After installation, you can connect the card directly to a ControlNet network via its BNC ports.
• You may also connect it to a device that is already part of a ControlNet network.
• Important: Never connect the single 1784-PCICS card to two different ControlNet networks.
• Connecting to multiple networks will cause erratic communication and system errors.
• The front panel status LEDs provide diagnostic information when using the BNC connections.
• Please note, these status indicator lights are not active when using the RJ45 network port for connection.
