Installation
The hardware installation process for the ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter includes completing the following
procedures:
Installing the ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter in the system unit
Downloading the operating system support and diagnostic programs (page 2-8)
Running diagnostics to verify installation (page 2-9)

Setting up configuration files (page 2-9)
Step 1. Installing the ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter
Use the following steps as general information for installing your ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter. For
specific adapter installation instructions, consult the operating manual or the installation and setup manual
for your specific personal computer system.
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Unplug the power cords from the wall outlets.
3. Remove the cable-retaining brackets from the rear of the system unit and display.
4. Disconnect all cables from the rear of the system unit.
5. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or 1/4-inch nutdriver to remove the cover mounting screws (if present)
from the system unit.
6. Remove the system unit cover.
7. Locate an available expansion slot in your system unit.
| Note: The ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter cannot be installed in a PCI slot that supports spread
| spectrum.
8. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a 3/16-inch nutdriver to remove the screw that holds the expansion-slot
cover in place. Lift the expansion-slot cover from the system unit.
9. Hold the ARTIC186 8-Port PCI Adapter (still wrapped in the anti-static bag) in one hand and touch a
metal part of your system unit with the other hand. This places your body, the adapter, and the
system unit at the same ground potential, preventing an accidental static discharge.
10. Carefully remove the adapter from the anti-static bag. Be sure to grasp circuit boards by the edges
only; do not touch the component pins or solder joints.
