2 Installation procedure
2.1 Hard- and Software Requirements
For operating the MCA4A you need a standard PC with a high-speed USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port and Microsoft
Windows XP or higher. USB 1.0 ports do not work. The maximum throughput rate is approximately 32
Mbyte/sec on a USB 2.0 port and 120 Mbyte/sec on a USB 3.0 port. This throughput rate is somewhat
dependent on the computer hardware and operating system.
We do not expect any problems with host compatibility as we do not use something else than any USB hard
disk or memory stick. Of course, it is necessary that the PC has a true USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 port.
Older PCs that do not have USB 3.0 on the motherboard can use a PCI / PCIe card providing USB 3.0 /
USB 3.1 Gen1 ports.
