Hardware installation
1. Remove the power plug from the back of your PC. This is a safety
precaution before opening your computer. Ensure that you are statically
discharged by using a static strap.
2. Remove the side cover of your PC to gain access to the PCI slots.
3. Remove your DeckLink card from the protective static bag making sure
you don’t touch the gold connectors on the base of the card. These
precautions should be taken when handling any PCI card.
4. Find a spare PCI or PCI-X slot (DeckLink HD series cards require a PCI-
X slot). Remove the metal port access cover, and screw, from the back
of your PC.
5. Insert your DeckLink card and ensure that it clicks into place.
6. Secure the card by the screw or clamping device.
7. The procedure for installing a RAID controller card is similar to the
above (The RAID controller card should be installed into a 100MHz PCI-
X slot.)
8. Now replace the side cover of your PC. Reconnect the power and start
up the computer.
Note:
If installing DeckLink HD or DeckLink HD Pro make sure you use the
133MHz PCI-X slot.
