Connect a network cable into one or both of the Ethernet ports. Care should be taken when connecting a
network cable, ensure the cable connector is pushed firmly into the Ethernet port until you hear a definite

•
Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables
connected to the computer, noting the positions for accurate re-connection
•
Remove the PC cover
•
Locate a vacant PCI Express slot (x4 or higher) on the motherboard and remove the blanking plate
(retain all screws)
If you are in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to correctly identify a PCI Express slot.
If the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X slot it will be irreparably damaged when the system
is powered up and the warranty will be void.

Reconnect all cables to the PC then connect
Network cables (not supplied) to the Ethernet port on the
ActiveSQX capture card

Power up the PC and commence the software installation
Multiple ActiveSQX cards can be installed into a system providing more processing and more
simultaneous decodes.
