Installing the PCI Card for Desktop Computers
Once you have verified that there are no problems with your system, it is time to
install the Echo 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-
click on your CD-ROM drive icon. Now, select “Install Windows Drivers,”
and follow the on-screen directions.
2. Once you have installed the appropriate driver for your version of Windows,
turn your computer off.
IMPORTANT - Unplug your computer and detach all peripherals before
proceeding with the following steps.
3.
Remove your computer’s cover
. This operation differs from computer to
computer. Refer to your computer’s manual for a further explanation of this step
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
