Windows 2000/XP Registry.

Install the PCMCIA-FBUS Board

Caution Before you remove the card 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 PCMCIA-FBUS card.

Complete the following steps to install the PCMCIA-FBUS card.

1. Shut down your operating system and power off your system.

2. Insert the card into a free PC Card (PCMCIA) socket. The card has

no jumpers or switches to set. Figure 1 shows how to insert the

PCMCIA-FBUS and how to connect the PCMCIA-FBUS cable

and connector to the PCMCIA-FBUS card. However, the

PCMCIA-FBUS/2 card has two connectors. Refer to Appendix B,

Pinout Information, of the Getting Started with Your PCMCIA-FBUS

and the NI-FBUS Software manual for more information about these

two connectors.
