Installing the Capture Card
You are likely to need a flat blade and a Phillips head screwdriver for the installation of the capture
card; it would be useful to have these to hand before you begin.
Installing the card is a simple process, follow the steps below to be up and running in a few minutes:
•
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 reconnection. Remove the PC cover
•
Locate a vacant PCIe (x4 or above) slot for the
X
TREME
-RGB-EX1+ on the motherboard and remove
the backing plate (retain all screws). If in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to cor-
rectly identify a PCIe (PCI-express) slot.
If the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X slot it
will be irreparably damaged when the system is powered up and the warranty will be void.
•
Remove the card from its packaging and secure it firmly into the empty PCIe slot. Extreme care
should be taken when securing the card into the slot as some motherboards may have components
that impede the siting of the card
•
Screw the card bracket to the back panel of the PC and replace the cover
•
Re-connect all cables to the PC
•
Connect the cable(s) distributing the RGB/DVI/HD signals to the connectors on the X
TREME
-RGB-
EX1+ card located on the back panel.
•
Power up the PC and commence the software installation.
