Installation & Maintenance Guide
Follow these steps for installation. First, shut down the computer. Remove the computer cover. Select a vacant PCI slot. Remove the slot's expansion cover. Handle the card with ESD precautions. Use a grounded wrist strap. Touch a grounded object first. Avoid touching card components. Insert the card into the slot. Tighten the screws. After installation, connect the RJ45 or BNC cables. Use only 1786-CP cables. Do not connect different ControlNet networks. The card provides diagnostic LEDs. These LEDs indicate card and network status. When using BNC connectors, the LEDs function. When using RJ45, the LEDs are meaningless. Maintenance requires regular inspection. Keep the card in a static-safe container when not in use. Store at recommended temperatures.
