2.3  Hardware Installation
After the Device Drivers installation is completed you can install the PCI-
1718HDU/HGU card into any PCI slot on your computer. However, it is 
suggested that you refer to the computer’s user manual or related docu-
mentation if you have any doubts. Please follow the steps below to install 
the card onto your system.
1.
Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and cables. 
TURN OFF your computer before installing or removing any com-
ponents on the computer.
2.
Remove the cover of your computer.
3.
Remove the slot cover on the back panel of your computer.
4.
Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutralize 
the static electricity that might be on your body.
5.
Insert the PCI-1718HDU/HGU card into a PCI slot. Hold the card 
only by its edges and carefully align it with the slot. Insert the card 
firmly into place. Use of excessive force must be avoided; other-
wise, the card might be damaged.
6.
Fasten the bracket of the PCI card on the back panel rail of the 
computer with screws.
7.
Connect appropriate accessories (37-pin cable, wiring terminals, 
etc. if necessary) to the PCI card.
8.
Replace the cover of your computer chassis. Re-connect the cables 
you removed in step 2.
9.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer.
After your card is properly installed on your system, you can now config-
ure your device using the Advantech Device Manager Program that has 
itself already been installed on your system during driver setup. A com-
plete device installation procedure should include device setupconfigu-
ration 
and testing. The following sections will guide you through the 
Setup, Configuration and Testing of your device.
Note:
Make sure you have installed the 
driver before you install the card 
(please refer to chapter 2.2 Driver 
Installation)
