PCIe-AC51 Adapter Card Quick Start

Use this Quick Start to install the PCIe-AC51 adapter

card and the Pamux® Systems Software Development

Kit (SDK) included on the mini-CD that comes with the

card.

If you don’t have the CD, you can download the SDK

from our website at www.opto22.com or request the

CD by calling Opto 22

at 800-321-6786 (toll-free in the

U.S. and Canada) or 951-695-3000.

For additional hardware and software information, see

Opto 22 form 1459, PCI-AC51 and PCIe-AC51 User's

Guide. This guide is included on the CD and contains

full

instructions for installing and using the card and the SDK.

Installing the Adapter Card

You can install the PCIe-AC51 adapter card into any

PCIe expansion slot on your computer. Note the

power requirements listed in the Specifications table

in form 1459, PCI-AC51 and PCIe-AC51 User's Guide.

CAUTION: Do not scratch this card or other cards in the

computer, as scratching may irreversibly damage the card

or other devices.

1. Turn off the computer. Remove the power cord

and the computer’s cover.

The power cord must be removed, as a spike may

cause the computer to boot.

2. Before handling the card, discharge static

electricity by touching the computer’s metal

chassis.

3. Starting with the connector end that allows the

cable to lie flat, push the ribbon cable through one

of the slot openings in the computer.

4. Run the cable across the top of the adapter card

(so it covers the card) and attach the cable to the

card, as shown.

5. Install the card in the expansion slot. Verify that

the card is properly seated in the motherboard

socket. Secure the card to the chassis.

6. Connect the other end of the cable to the I/O

mounting rack. See form 0726, Pamux User’s Guide,

for more information.

7. Reinstall the power cord.

8. Turn on the computer. The BIOS automatically

performs configuration the first time you boot up

the computer with the card installed.

If a “Found New Hardware”message appears, simply

click Cancel. The Pamux Systems SDK setup program

will install the device driver automatically.

Installing the SDK

The SDK includes sample applications with source

code, Windows drivers, and user documentation.

NOTE: If you are using an unsupported operating system or

a non-PC hardware platform, you will need to write your

own driver. For more information, see the PCI-AC51 and

PCIe-AC51 User's Guide.

TIP: To ensure reliable control operations, disable Sleep and

Hibernation modes (by setting both sleep and hibernation

time durations to “never”) in your operating system’s Power

settings.

1. To start the Pamux Systems SDK setup, insert the

CD that came with the card into the computer’s

CD-ROM drive (or, if you’ve downloaded the SDK

from our website, double-click the installer).
