Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI FireWire card. Please
read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the order listed.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer’s user manual for details, if 

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that 

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. 
Retain this screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the PCI card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Put the computer case back on.

Installing the Drivers
Once you have connected your FireWire card, the next time you turn on your computer
Windows will automatically detect that you have installed new hardware. Follow the
instructions below to install the required software drivers.

Windows 98SE
1.  Windows should automatically detect the new hardware. At the Add New Hardware
