Note
If you are installing a PCI-485, you might need to adjust the value of the bias 
resistors, depending on your application. Bias resistors are not available on the eight-port 
PCI-485. For more information, refer to Appendix A, 
.
Caution
Before you remove your board from the package, touch the antistatic plastic 
package to a metal part of your system chassis to discharge electrostatic energy, which can 
damage several components on your serial board.
To install your PCI serial board, complete the following steps:
1.
Turn off your computer. Keep the computer plugged in so that it 
remains grounded while you install the PCI serial board.
2.
Remove the top or side cover of the computer.
3.
Find an unused PCI expansion slot in your computer.
4.
Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover on the back panel of 
the computer.
5.
Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static electricity.
6.
Insert the PCI serial board into the slot with the serial connectors 
toward the opening on the back panel. Make sure that you insert the 
board all the way into the slot. The board might seem to click firmly 
into place, even though it is only part of the way in. Figure 2-3 shows 
how to install the PCI serial board into an expansion slot.
