| Step | Action |
|---|---|
1 | Remove the IEEE-1284B Parallel Option card from its package and confirm the shipped contents:
ISP* - Internal solutions port |

5 | Slide the card into preliminary position. Start the upper bracket thumb screw into the T- bracket, but do not tighten it all the way. Suggestion: Do not install the lower bracket thumb screw at this time for alignment purposes. Also, the bail clips should stick straight out to allow passage through the card cage slot.  |
6 | Center and insert the top slot screw. Also, make sure the bottom of the card is center-aligned with the the control cage's screw position.  |
7 | Place the parallel card onto the T-bracket and secure this card with the longer thumbscrew that has been included. Note: Do not over tighten; and make sure the card is centered in the bracket.   |
8 | Insert and tighten both lower-bracket thumb screw and lower-slot screw. Lower-slot screw illustration.  |
9 | Lastly, connect the card's blue cable connector to the system board socket labeled INA or ISP.  |
