2 QUICK START
The installation and operation of all four CIO-RELAY series boards is very similar.
Throughout this manual we use CIO-RELAY as a generic designation for the CIO-
RELAY08, CIO-RELAY16, CIO-RELAY24 and CIO-RELAY32. When required due
to the differences in the boards, the specific board name is used.
The CIO-RELAY boards are easy to use. This quick start procedure will help you
quickly and easily setup, install and test your board. We assume you already know
how to open the PC and install expansion boards. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfort-
able with board installation, please refer to your computer’s documentation.
We recommend you perform the software installation described in
the following sections prior to installing the board in your com-
puter.
The
InstaCal
TM
operations below will show you how to prop-
erly set the switches and jumpers on the board prior to physically
installing the board in your computer.
2.1 Install the
Insta
Cal
TM
software
Windows 95, 98 and NT users install InstaCAL by running the SETUP.EXE program
included on your InstaCAL floppies or CD.
Windows 3.x and DOS users install the program by running the INSTALL.EXE pro-
gram supplied on your InstaCAL disk.
These installation routines will create all required folders/directories and unpack the
various pieces of compressed software. Simply run install and follow the on-screen
instructions. Remember where the installed files are placed, as you will need to access
them in the next step (the default location is on your main hard drive in a directory or
folder named C:\CB\).
