External DriverPak and BIM Card: External DriverPak is a shoebox-sized peripheral that says Wizard on the front. There is a Patch Cord (parallel cable) on the back of the External DriverPak that plugs into the BIM Card (circuit board) from the back of the computer. The BIM Card usually has a sticker that says BIM####. | |
USB DriverPak: USB DriverPak is a shoebox-sized peripheral that says Wizard on the front, and is NOT linked to a BIM Card. It plugs into the USB Port of your computer. |
Removing the BIM Card | |
---|---|
Turn off power to computer. Turn off power to DriverPak (flip toggle on back to “0”). Locate the BIM Card. Follow Patch Cord from the External DriverPak to where it connects to the back of the computer -- THIS is the BIM Card that it is plugged into. Unplug the Patch Cord from the BIM Card and note the location. Remove the cover from the computer. Note that there are many different cover types so take care when removing to cover to avoid damage to the system. In general:
Locate and remove the small screw holding the BIM Card in place. | |
Lift the BIM Card straight out to remove it completely | |
The BIM Card has been removed. |
Removing the External DriverPak/USB DriverPak | |
---|---|
If you haven’t already done so, turn off power to DriverPak (flip toggle on back to “0”). Unplug the Board Cable (large Grey) from the back of the DriverPak by turning black locking ring and pulling gently. Unplug power cord. | |
For External DriverPaks, unplug the Patch Cord (parallel cable) from the back of the DriverPak and make sure it is no longer plugged into the BIM Card on the back of the computer. | |
For USB DriverPaks, unplug the USB Cable from both the back of the DriverPak and the back of the computer. NOTE: REMEMBER which USB Port you unplugged the USB Cable from on the computer, as you will need to use the SAME port when you install the new USB DriverPak. | |
Return the DriverPak and cables to Wizard for credit. | |
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE! No user serviceable parts inside the DriverPak. |
Installing the BIM Card | |
---|---|
Carefully line up the BIM Card into the ISA Slot where you had removed the old BIM Card. Press gently until the BIM Card is firmly seated into the slot. | |
Replace the small screw to hold the BIM Card in place. Replace the cover and the screws that held the cover in place. |
Installing the DriverPak | |
---|---|
Plug Power Cord into the Back of the DriverPak and the other end into a surge protector. Before plugging in the Board Cable (large grey), note that FOUR of these pins are in a straight line. Align the plug so that the four pins are aligned correctly, gently insert plug, then turn black Locking Ring until it seats itself and clicks into place. Connect the DriverPak to the computer: | |
For External DriverPaks: Connect the Patch Cord (parallel cable) to the back of the External DriverPak. The other end plugs into the BIM Card (parallel connection) which is usually marked with a sticker that says BIM####. NOTE: There is a similar parallel connection, which is the printer port - do not plug in the External DriverPak into the printer port. | |
For USB DriverPaks: Plug the USB Cable into the USB DriverPak. Plug the other end of the USB Cable into the USB Port in the back of the computer. NOTE: It is IMPORTANT that you plug the USB Cable into the SAME USB Port that the DriverPak was originally using. | |
Turn on the DriverPak by flipping toggle on back to “1”). Boot up Computer. You have finished. |
