Installation
This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI card and the related software.
Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the order listed.
Installing the Card
1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.
2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if necessary)
and gently turn your computer onto its side.
3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that covers the
rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.
Retain the screw!
You will need it to secure the card later.
PCI Slots
4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.
5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.
6. If you are using the PCI2PECP, connect the ribbon cable with the second parallel port to the
card with the red stripe facing Pin 1 as indicated on the connector. Remove the metal
plate from an available PCI slot bracket. Secure the port in the empty bracket using the
screw you removed.
7. Put the computer case back on.
