Connect the white end of the Power Up patch cable to the TV tuner card and
the black end to the mainboard.
Power Up Scheduling is not required for using VideoMate Vista E600F PCIe
card. If you don’t want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows Shut
down state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections, in other words,
you can skip Power Up Connections in steps 3 through 6. You can still use
scheduled recording from Standby mode or powered on state.
7. Insert VideoMate Vista E600F PCIe card in an open PCI slot.
This completes the hardware installation. Please read the following notes and
proceed to install the software.
Note
For best performance, the VideoMate Vista E600F PCIe card should not share
its IRQ. For more information, please see the Troubleshooting section.
If the computer cannot be turned on, verify the position of the power patch
cable on the mainboard. Consult the mainboard documentation to determine
the position of the ATX power switch connector.
Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the
scheduled recording time, for example, if you have set
ComproDTV 4 to record a program at 4 o’clock, it will start your
computer at 3:55. Therefore, you need to shut down the computer
before 3:54 in order to let Power Up start the computer.
Power Up from Windows Shutdown mode, i.e., ACPI S5 state, requires:
z
An ATX power supply in your PC.
z
Motherboard support for PCI 2.2 or above in order to have 3.3V standby
power.
z
ATX powers switch cable, which is a pair of twisted wires with a two-wire
connector, as shown to the right.
If you don't have the above items, you can still use Power-Up Scheduling with
Windows Stand by mode, i.e., ACPI S3 state, if your system supports it.
You can use VideoMate Vista E600F PCIe card without using Power Up
Scheduling. If you don’t want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows
Shut down state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections.
The ATX power switch cable is not polarized. You can plug it in either direction.
