removing the PCI/PCIe slot faceplate 

 

Put the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card into the slot and make sure it is placed in correctly. 
Insert the card into the slot and then tighten the screw. Then you can close the computer 
case.

4.  You can finish the installation of the PCI/PCIe host card by connecting the M.D.I breakout 

cable to the M.D.I port (if you use no other M.D.I compatible device like the MaXiO 032 
breakout box). 

3.2 EX8000 connection 

After the MaXiO PCI host card is installed in the PCI slot, you should connect EX8000 to the card 
using the supplied standard IEEE1394/FireWire cable. 

Start by connecting the EX8000 with the E.D.I In connector on EX8000 with the first E.D.I port on 
the MaXiO PCI/PCIe host card as shown on the picture below. If you have several EX8000 units, 
connect the second unit to the second E.D.I port and so on.
