After the DLL driver installation is completed, you can now go on to install the PCI-
1762 card in any PCI slot on your computer. But it is suggested that you should refer
to the computer user manual or related documentation if you have any doubt. Please
follow the steps below to install the card on your system.
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord and cables. TURN OFF your
computer before installing or removing any components on the computer.
2. Remove the cover of your computer.
3. Remove the slot cover on the back panel of your computer.
4. Touch the metal part on the surface of your computer to neutralize the static
electricity that might be on your body.
5. Insert the 1762 card into a PCI slot. Hold the card only by its edges and carefully
align it with the slot. Insert the card firmly into place. Use of excessive force
must be avoided, otherwise the card might be damaged.
6. Fasten the bracket of the PCI card on the back panel rail of the computer with
screws.
Note! Make sure you have installed the driver first before you install the card
