Installation of Max S8 - DVB Card 

 

Read the safety instructions for your PC and those on previous pages. 

 

Turn off the PC and all peripheral devices. 

 

Unplug the power cable and remove all other external cables. 

 

Unscrew and carefully remove the PC cover to gain access to the inside. 

 

Unscrew the blank slot bracket from a free PCIe slot and remove it. 

 

1 slot brackets (full profile) are enclosed in the package. 

 

Carefully screw the slot bracket to the TV card. 

 

Holding the TV card by its edges, position it vertically over a free PCIe slot (x1 up to x16) and 
insert it into the slot. Avoid touching the golden finger of the TV card and do not damage any 
internal components. 

 

Push the TV card into the slot from above, so that the TV card snaps into position in the slot. 

 

Screw the slot bracket of the TV card to the PC chassis. 

 

Replace the PC cover and reconnect all cables. 

 

The installation of your new TV card with its connections is now complete. 

 

Finally, connect the power cable to the PC and switch on the PC. 

 

Do not try to start the PC unless the PC cover is tightly refitted and secure
