Docking Station (250-3583) Installing Expansion Boards  Faxback Doc. # 3107

Use with the Tandy 3830 SL / 3830 SL/C.

The docking station has two 8/16-bit expansion slots for expansion boards.

You can install an 8- or 16-bit half-size or full-size expansion board in 
the upper slot. You can install an 8- or 16-bit half-size (up to 6 3/4" 
long) in the lower expansion slot.

Before Installation:

* Turn off the docking station and the computer. If both units are on, turn 
  off the computer first. Then turn off the docking station. Unplug the AC 
  power cord.
* We recommend you disconnect the computer from the docking station before 
  you remove or insert a board. If you move the docking station or computer 
  when you remove or insert a board and they are connected, you can damage 
  the port or connector.
* Do not touch any component or the edge connector on the expansion board.
* Do not place metal objects such as paper clips inside the docking station.
* Do not touch any component inside the docking station. This can damage the
  docking station.

Installation:

After you read all items under "Before Installation," follow these steps to 
install an expansion board:

1. Remove the four screws on the back cover. Pull the cover's knobs to 
   remove it from the docking station.
2. Loosen the screw and remove the appropriate expansion slot's cover. You 
   use the same screw to secure the expansion board, so take care not to 
   lose the screw.
3. Hold the board horizontally, and firmly insert the board's connector into 
   the expansion slot.

   If you install a full-size board, insert the left end of the board into 
   the board guide on the left of the docking station.

4. Secure the expansion board with the screw you removed in Step 2.

Note: Keep the expansion slot cover that you removed in case you later 
remove the board for any reason.

5. Replace the back cover and tighten the screws.
