Installing the PCI Card
Once you have logged in as an administrator, and disabled the Windows system
sounds, it is time to install the Echo3G PCI card into your computer.
1.
Install the drivers.
You should do this
before
inserting the PCI card. Insert
the Echo Install CD-ROM into your machine. The Main Install Window should
automatically appear. If it does not, simply go to “My Computer,” and double-

and follow the on-screen directions.
2. Once you have installed the Windows driver, shut down Windows and
turn
your computer off.

proceeding with the following steps.

if necessary.
4.
Select the PCI slot
into which you will install the card. You may use any
available PCI slot in your computer for the card. Unscrew and remove the
bracket covering the expansion slot where you would like to install your Echo
product. Put the screw in a safe place, as you will need it later to complete the
installation.
5.
Insure that you have fully discharged all static electricity
from your body
before handling the card. This can be done through the use of a grounding strap
or, more simply, by touching your bare hand to the metal casing of the
computer’s power supply. (For this latter method to work, the computer must be
plugged in, though not turned on.) After you’ve discharged your static, unplug
the computer before proceeding to the next step.

its edges, and
insert it into the selected expansion slot
. Insure that the card’s
edge connector (the protruding edge with the gold leads) is seated firmly into the
