Installing the Hardware
This section describes how to install your PCI-FBUS, PCMCIA-FBUS,
USB-8486, and FBUS-HSE/H1 linking device.
Note Here, the term PCI-FBUS represents PCI-FBUS/2; the term PCMCIA-FBUS
represents PCMCIA-FBUS, PCMCIA-FBUS/2, PCMCIA-FBUS Series 2, and
PCMCIA-FBUS/2 Series 2.
Install Your PCI-FBUS Card
Caution Before you remove the card from the package, touch the antistatic plastic package
to a metal part of the system chassis to discharge electrostatic energy, which can damage
several components on the PCI-FBUS card.
To install the PCI-FBUS card, complete the following steps.
1. Shut down and power off the computer. Keep the computer plugged in
so that it remains grounded while you install the PCI-FBUS card.
2. Remove the top cover or access port of the I/O channel.
3. Remove the expansion slot cover on the back panel of the computer.
4. As shown in Figure 1, insert the PCI-FBUS card into any unused PCI
slot with the Fieldbus connector protruding from the opening on the
back panel. Make sure all pins are inserted an equal depth into the
connector. Although it might be a tight fit, do not force the card into
place.

several components on the PCMCIA-FBUS card.
To install the PCMCIA-FBUS card, complete the following steps.
1. Power on the computer and allow the operating system to boot.
2. Insert the card into a free PCMCIA (or Cardbus) socket. The card has
no jumpers or switches to set. Figure 2 shows how to insert the
PCMCIA-FBUS and how to connect the PCMCIA-FBUS cable
and connector to the PCMCIA-FBUS card. However, the

Install Your FBUS-HSE/H1 LD
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD has a simple rail clip for reliable mounting onto a
standard 35 mm DIN rail.
To install the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD, complete the following steps.
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked
position, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. DIN Rail Clip
2. Hook the lip on the rear of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD onto the top of a
35 mm DIN rail and press the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD down onto the DIN
rail, as shown in Figure 6.

3. Slide the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the desired position along the DIN rail.
After the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is in position, lock it to the DIN rail by
pushing the rail clip to the locked position, as shown in Figure 5.
4. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to an
Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
Note Do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 10 Mbps Ethernet,
National Instruments recommends using a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet
cable.
5. Figure 7 shows the power, H1, and Ethernet connectors on the
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD.

7. Connect the primary 11–30 VDC power supply to the center V and C
pair with the positive and negative wires on your power cable in the
V and C terminals, respectively. You can connect an optional backup
power supply to the left V and C pair. The power connector is a 6-pin
screw terminal power connector whose pinout is shown in Figure 8.

8. Power on your FBUS-HSE/H1 LD. At power-up, the FBUS-HSE/H1
LD runs a set of power-on self tests (POST) that take several seconds,
and the green POWER LED is lit. For more information about reading
the POST status, refer to the LED Indicators section of Appendix B,
Troubleshooting and Common Questions, of the NI-FBUS Hardware
and Software User Manual.
Note If you are using the third-party HSE/H1 linking device, refer to the related user
manual or reference materials to install the hardware.
