Printing History
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. Update packages, which are issued between editions,
contain additional and replacement pages to be merged into the manual by the customer. The dates on the
title page change only when a new edition
or a new update is published. No information is incorporated
into a reprinting unless it appears as a prior update; the edition does not change when an update is
incorporated.
A software code may be printed before the date; this indicates the version level
of the software product at
the time the manual or update was issued. Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes
and, conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore,
do
not expect a one-to-one correspondence between product updates and manual updates.

GENERAL -This product and related documenta-
tion must be reviewed
for familiarization with
safety markings and instructions before operation.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
Instruction manual symbol: the product
will be marked with this symbol when
it
is necessary for the user to refer to the
instruction manual
in order to protect
the
product against damage.
Indicates hazardous voltages.
-L..
_ Indicates earth (ground) terminal.

WARNING
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard.
It calls attention
to a procedure or prac-
tice that,
if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in personal in-
jury.
Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING sign until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and met.
ICAUTION I
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard.
It calls attention to an operating proce-
dure or practice that, if not correctly
performed
or adhered to, could result in
damage to or destruction of part or all
of the product. Do not proceed beyond
a CAUTION sign until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and met.
Safety Considerations
CAUTION
STA TIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
When any two materials make contact, their sur-
faces are crushed
on the atomic level, and
electrons pass back and forth between the objects.
In separation, one surface comes away with excess
electrons (negatively charged) while
the other is
electron deficient (positively charged). The level
of charge that is developed depends on the type of
material. Insulators can easily build up charges in
excess
of 20,000 volts. A person working at a
bench
or walking across a floor can build up a
charge
of many thousands of volts. The amount
of static voltage developed depends on the rate of
generation of the charge and the capacitance of
the body holding the charge. If the discharge hap-
pens
to go through a semiconductor device and the
transient current pulse is not effectively diverted
by protection circuitry, the resulting current flow
through the device can raise the temperature of in-
ternal junctions
to their melting points. MOS
structures are also sllsceptible to dielectric damage
due
to high fields.
The resulting damage can range (rom complete
destruction to latent degradation. Small geometry
semiconductor devices
are especially susceptible to
damage by static discharge.
The CIOjHP-IB card is shipped in a transparent
static shielding bag. The card should be kept in
this bag at all times until it
is installed in the sys-
tem. Save this bag
for storing or transporting the
card. When installing
the card in the system, do
not touch any components. Hold the card by its
handles, and avoid
contact with non antistatic
surfaces.

Safety Considerations (continued)
WARNING
SAFETY EARTH GROUND - The computer on
which
this product is installed is a safet)" class I
product and is prol'ided with a protective earthing
terminal. An uninterruptible safety ground must be
provided from
the main source to the product inl)ut
wiring terminals, power cord, or SUPl)lied power cord
set. Whenever it is likely that the protection has
been impaired, the product must be made inopera-
tive
and must be secured against any unintended
operation.
