2.1.2 Installation of a FireWire Interface Card (PC)
This step is necessary if your computer is not yet equipped with a
FireWire interface.
In this case you require an additional PCI card with FireWire
interfaces. Below we describe the installation of the PHYTEC
FireWire card, ordering number PC-109.
Depending on the option of order, this card may already be included
as part of your kit’s delivery contents.
Caution!
For this step the computer has to be disconnected from the mains
voltage supply. It is important that you are absolutely certain that the
device is not receiving voltage from any source.
Be aware that if this is not the case, parts of the device can carry
voltages at levels that could cause electrocution.
•
Remove the PC housing (usually screwed).
•
Choose a free PCI slot (usually the white, short parallel slots on the
motherboard).
•
Remove the slot bracket from the PC case (unscrew or break it off
if necessary).
•
Carefully insert the FireWire interface card PC-109 into the slot (as
depicted in
Figure 9
) with the slot bracket towards the outside. The
card should lock firmly.
•
Do not push the card into the slot with force, motherboard or card
could be damaged!
•
Mind that the card's golden contact stripes match the contact
springs of the slot.
