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.
a. Logic Ground Connected to Shield Ground (Default)
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.

6.Insert the AT-GPIB/TNT into the slot with the GPIB connector sticking out of the opening on
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).

Set the GPIB-PCII/IIA Shield Ground Configuration
The GPIB-PCII/IIA is set at the factory with the jumper in place to connect the logic ground of the
GPIB-PCII/IIA to its shield ground. This configuration minimizes EMI emissions.
Caution
!
The GPIB-PCII/IIA was tested for compliance with FCC and CE standards with the shield ground
connected to logic ground. Removing the jumper might cause EMI emissions to exceed 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 W1 on the GPIB-PCII/IIA. (View the GPIB-PCII/IIA Parts
Locator Diagram.)
2.Remove the jumper and place it across only one of the jumper pins, as shown in the following
figure.
W1
a. Logic Ground Connected to Shield Ground (Default)
Your computer needs to be off while you install your GPIB-PCII/IIA. To print this topic, select
File»Print, select the Pages radio button, and print pages 35-36.
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.
Perform the following steps to install the GPIB-PCII/IIA:
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 GPIB-PCII/IIA.)
2.Shut down Windows and turn off your computer. Keep the computer plugged in so that it
remains grounded while you install the GPIB-PCII/IIA.
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.
5.Remove the corresponding slot cover on the back panel of the computer.

Configure the GPIB-PCII/IIA in GPIB-PCIIA Mode
This section describes how to configure your GPIB-PCII/IIA board for use in GPIB-PCIIA mode.
Note
National Instruments recommends that you Configure and Install Your GPIB-PCII/IIA in PCII mode.
The NI-488.2 software allows you to install your GPIB-PCII/IIA board for use in GPIB-PCII or
GPIB-PCIIA mode. The two modes use different I/O addresses and interrupt schemes. However,
you should be aware of a potential problem with the Windows Device Manager when using your
board in GPIB-PCIIA mode under Windows. The Device Manager does not reliably report base
address conflicts involving the GPIB-PCII/IIA in GPIB-PCIIA mode. Additionally, the Device
Manager fails to display all of the I/O addresses used by the GPIB-PCII/IIA in GPIB-PCIIA mode.
Therefore, a base address conflict may go unchecked when using your board in GPIB-PCIIA mode.
Base address conflicts can cause your computer to hang or otherwise behave unreliably.
Therefore, it is safest to use the board only in GPIB-PCII mode, not in GPIB-PCIIA mode.
1. Configure GPIB-PCIIA and 7210 Modes.
2. Configure the GPIB-PCII/IIA Base I/O Address (GPIB-PCIIA Mode).
3. Configure the GPIB-PCII/IIA Interrupt Line (IRQ) (GPIB-PCIIA Mode).
4. Configure the GPIB-PCII/IIA DMA Channel.
After you finish these steps, you are ready to Install the GPIB-PCII/IIA.

Configure the PC/104-GPIB DMA Channel
If Windows is unable to assign a DMA resource to the PC/104-GPIB, or if you are installing the
PC/104-GPIB in an 8-bit stack, you can configure DMA to none and still use the NI-488.2 software.
Change the jumper settings to match the DMA channel assigned to your board, or to no DMA if
you are installing the PC/104-GPIB in an 8-bit stack. You must set both the DMA Acknowledge and
DMA Request lines. By default, the PC/104-GPIB is configured to use DMA channel 5.

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.
The PC/104-GPIB is available in two versions: stackthrough 16-bit and stackthrough 8-bit. 16-bit
modules have two PC/104 connectors and 8-bit modules have one PC/104 connector. Verify that
you have the correct version for your system.
Complete the following steps to install the PC/104-GPIB. In this section, the term parent module
generically refers to either the parent system or the adjacent PC/104 module you stack the
PC/104-GPIB onto.

Determine Assigned Resources
Before you configure and install your board, you need to know the resources assigned to your
hardware.
Windows 98/95:
The Add GPIB Hardware Wizard automatically opens this PDF file after it assigns resources to
your GPIB hardware. The Add GPIB Hardware Wizard window is probably open on your desktop.
Switch to that window to view the resources assigned to your GPIB hardware.
If you do not have the Add GPIB Hardware Wizard running, launch it by selecting Start»Programs»National Instruments NI-488.2»Add GPIB Hardware. Follow the steps until it
displays the list of resources assigned to your GPIB hardware.
Windows NT:
Windows NT is not a true Plug and Play operating system; therefore, it does not have an Add GPIB
Hardware Wizard concept. When you install new GPIB hardware, try to use the default hardware settings. If these setting fail due to a resource conflict, use the Start»Programs»Administrative
Tools»Windows NT Diagnostics utility. Use the Resources tab of this utility to get a list of
resources that are known to be in use. This list is not necessarily complete, so remember that the
resources not listed only might be available. The only way to know if a resource is available is to
configure your hardware to use it, try it, and see if the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard passes.
After you select your resources, configure and install your GPIB hardware using the information in
this PDF file. Then, use the GPIB Configuration Utility to communicate the resources assigned to
your GPIB hardware. Run the NI-488.2 Getting Started Wizard for instructions on using the GPIB
Configuration Utility.
