B.5.3 What's Included
Your packing box should contain the following items:
• VCC-DP-2 - Dual DisplayPort 1.2 capture card
NOTE: All plug-in cards are static sensitive and are packed in anti-static material. Please 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-DP-2
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 the card is plugged into the computer. This should hasten any query
should you need to contact Black Box Technical Support. The serial number is displayed on the card itself and
the box label.
B.5.4 Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and /or a cross head screwdriver to install the VCC-DP-2 card; it would be
useful to have these to hand before you begin.
1. Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables connected
to the computer, noting the positions for accurate re-connection.
2. Remove the PC cover.
3. Locate a vacant PCI Express slot (x4 or higher) on the motherboard and remove the blanking plate (retain all
screws).
