Installing the hardware:
You must open your computer to install the card. Ensure that you have unplugged your computer
from the mains. If you are not familiar with the internal layout of your computer, please consult
the manual of your computer or ask an expert.
1. Switch off all connected devices and your computer.
2. Unplug your PC from the power supply before you begin the installation process.
3. Open the cover of your computer.
Note:
Static electricity can damage both the card and your computer. Discharge yourself by
touching a metal object.
4. Select a free PCI slot. Remove the cover plate for this slot. Do not lose the screw - you will
need it to secure the card.
5. Hold the card at the edge of the board and insert it into the free PCI slot. Carefully press the
card into the slot until the holding bracket is lined up with the casing and the gold-plated
contacts have disappeared within the slot.
6. Secure the card using the slot plate screw you removed earlier.
7. Close the case of your computer and plug it in to the power supply again.
8. Switch your computer on again and continue with the driver installation.
