OPTIMOD-PC INSTALLATION

Section 2
Installation
Installing OPTIMOD-PC in Windows
®
Computers
Allow about 2 hours for installation.
Installation consists of: (1) unpacking and inspecting OPTIMOD-PC, (2) inserting
OPTIMOD-PC into a free PCI slot in the powered-down host computer, (3) starting
the computer, (4) inserting the OPTIMOD-PC driver CD into the computer’s CD-ROM
drive and following the prompts on the screen, and (5) optionally connecting inputs
and outputs. When you have finished installing OPTIMOD-PC, proceed to
Setup: The
OPTIMOD-PC Control Application on page 2-20.
Note that as of this writing, we have not thoroughly tested OPTIMOD-PC with Win-
dows Vista. Therefore, the following instructions apply specifically to XP.
If you are upgrading your OPTIMOD-PC software, it is unnecessary to uninstall the
old software first—we recommend installing the new software over the old soft-
ware. If the new software requires a driver update, you will have to reboot your
computer after the installation process finishes. The installer will offer to do this au-
tomatically.
1. Unpack and inspect.
A) If you note obvious physical damage, contact the carrier immediately to make
a damage claim. Included in the package are:
1 OPTIMOD-PC PCI card
1 Operating Manual
1 Driver and software CD-ROM.
B) Save all packing materials! If you should ever have to ship OPTIMOD-PC (e.g.,
for servicing), it is best to ship it in the original carton with its packing materi-
als because both the carton and packing material have been carefully de-
signed to protect the unit. In particular,
static discharge can damage
OPTIMOD-PC, and it should always be stored and shipped in the anti-static
bag in which it was shipped from the factory. Your warranty does not cover
damage from static discharge .
C) Complete the Registration Card and return it to Orban. (please)
