HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS
TM
bus connector
and the resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise
against transporting the card(s) installed in a computer, unless its
chassis or case provides a dedicated support to keep the card
securely in place in order to avoid physical damage.
The card has to be installed in the computer prior to installing its driver.
Installing the card
Gently plug the card in a free PCIe
®
slot and press it down to position it
firmly. Tighten the screw.
Interrupt and memory address
Hardware interrupt and addresses are automatically set up at start-up by the
PCI PnP BIOS.
