B.2.3 What's Included
NOTE: All plug-in cards are static sensitive and are packed in anti-static material. Keep the card in its
packaging until you are ready to install.
We recommend that you do not discard the packing box until you are completely satisfied with the VCC-SD-
HD-3 capture card and it is fully installed and working correctly. We also recommend that you note the serial
number of the card in a prominent place before plugging the card into the computer. This should hasten any
query if you need to contact Black Box Technical Support. The serial number is displayed on the card itself and
the box label.
B.2.4 Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and /or a cross head screwdriver for the installation of the VCC-SD-HD-3 card;
it would be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
1. Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off power, and disconnect all the cables connected to the
computer, noting the positions for accurate reconnection.
2. Remove the PC cover.
