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 PCI-X slot for the XtremeRGB-II on the motherboard and remove the backing
plate (retain all screws).
If in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to
correctly 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 PCI-X 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 HD/HDMI/RGB/DVI signals to the connectors on the
XtremeRGB card located on the back panel.
•
Power up the PC and commence the software installation.
