Hardware Installation
Important: Before beginning the installation we recommend you
use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent possible damage to the sensitive internal components in your computer.
The card must be installed into a 32 Bit PCI expansion s lot in a PC.
For standard desktop/tower PCs the correct back plate is already installed. For low profile PCs you should install the low profile back plate:
1. Power down your computer and unplug from the mains.
2. Remove the case cover.
3. Locate an available 32 Bit PCI slot.
4. Remove the slot blanking plate and retain the screw.
5. Carefully insert the card into the PCI slot.
6. Secure the card using the retained screw.
7. Replace the case covers, plug the system back into the mains and switch on.
8. The drivers for the card will be automatically installed by the operating system.*
* Windows 98 users may be prompted to insert their Windows CD.
