STARTUP MANUAL
Overview
PCI-1737U
24 channel Digital I/O Universal PCI Card
The PCI-1737U is a 24-bit DI/O card with PCI bus . It pro-
vides you with 24 bits of parallel digital input /output. It emu-
lates mode 0 of the 8255 PPI chip , but the buffered circuits
offer a higher driving capability than the 8255.The I/O bits
are divided into three 8-bit I/O ports: A0, B0, and C0.You can
configure each port as either input or output via software.

Hardware Installation
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord
and cables. TURN OFF your computer before install-
ing or removing any components 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 surface of your computer to neutral-
ize any static electricity that may be on your body.
5. Insert the PCI-1737U 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, otherwise 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 (50-pin flat cable,
wiring terminals, etc. if necessary) to the PCI card.
8. Replace the cover of your computer chassis. Recon-
nect the cables you removed in step 2.
9. Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer.
Software Installation Switch and Jumper Settings
We designed the PCI-1737U with ease-of-use in mind. It
is a “plug and play” card, i.e. the system BIOS assigns the
system resources such as base address and interrupt au-
tomatically. There are only some functions with 3 switches
to be set by the user. The following section describes how
to configure the card. You may want to refer to the figure
below for help in identifying card components.
Port Status Settings
Users can set the onboard I/O ports as input or output
separately. Please be aware that once dials the switch
to “ON” (Set port as output); the software setting will be
ignored.
ON Set port as output
OFF Set port I/O by software
Output Status Settings
Users can determine the output status of each port after
the system powering up or resetting. The function will be
effective only when the “Port Status Setting” switch is on.
ON Output LOW after reset
OFF Output HIGH after reset

PIN Assignments
PCI-1737U is quipped with a standard IDC 50-pin header.
However you can also access the signals on CN1 by
attaching IDC 20-pin connectors to the holes in the PCB
at CN2 and CN3 by yourself. The pin assignments are as
follows.
