INSTALL THE PCIE-424 SOFTWARE FIRST!
We recommend that you install the PCIe-424 software
before
installing the PCIe-424 card itself
.
If you’ve already installed the card, you might want to
temporarily remove it to install the software, and then put it
back in after installing the PCIe-424 software.
