Set the AT-GPIB/TNT Shield Ground Configuration
The AT-GPIB/TNT is set at the factory with the jumper in place to connect the logic ground of the
AT-GPIB/TNT to its shield ground. This configuration minimizes EMI emissions.
Caution The AT-GPIB/TNT was tested for compliance with FCC standards with the shield ground connected
to logic ground. Removing the jumper might cause EMI emissions to exceed any or all of the
applicable standards.
Most users do not need to change the shield ground configuration. If you feel you must disconnect
logic ground from shield ground, follow these steps:
1. Locate the shield ground jumper W3 on the AT-GPIB/TNT. (View the AT-GPIB/TNT Parts
Locator Diagram.)
2. Remove the jumper and place it across only one of the jumper pins, as shown in the following
figure.

Install the AT-GPIB/TNT
PRINT THIS TOPIC!
Your computer needs to be off while you install your AT-GPIB/TNT. To print this topic, select
File»Print, select the Pages radio button, and print pages 11-12.
Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on these GPIB boards. To avoid such
damage in handling your board, touch the antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your
computer chassis before removing the board from the package.
Complete the following steps to install your AT-GPIB/TNT:
1. Make sure that your board is configured to match the assigned resources. (If you are not sure,
view instructions to Configure and Install Your AT-GPIB/TNT.)
2. Shut down Windows and turn off your computer. Keep the computer plugged in so that it
remains grounded while you install the AT-GPIB/TNT.
3. Remove the top cover (or other access panels) to give yourself access to the computer
expansion slots.
4. Find an unused expansion slot in your computer. The AT-GPIB/TNT requires a 16-bit ISA
expansion slot.
5. Remove the corresponding slot cover on the back panel of the computer.

the back panel, as shown in Figure 3. It might be a tight fit, but do not force the board into
place.
Figure 3. Installing the AT-GPIB/TNT
7. Screw the mounting bracket of the AT-GPIB/TNT to the back panel rail of the computer.
8. Replace the top cover (or the access panel to the expansion slot).
9. Power on your computer and start Windows.
The AT-GPIB/TNT hardware installation is now complete.
