For Your Own Safety

If you purchased your PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI together with a PC and it is already installed, skip the next few sections and continue with the section "Connecting the Equipment".
In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI and computer system, note the following before installing any hardware:
Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electrostatic
charge from your body before touching the components with your hands or any tools.
Before opening the computer, make sure that the power plug is disconnected
from the wall outlet.

Hardware Installation

Preparing for Installation

You will need a screwdriver to install your hardware.
Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the
casing of your PC.
Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect computer
from the power supply and all necessary components.
Loosen the computer cover screws and remove the cover.
Select a free (busmaster) PCI slot. Remove the slot cover on the back panel
of the computer. Make sure to keep the screws in a safe place.

PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI Hardware Installation

Insert the card into the available PCI slot. Hold it firmly on the upper edge
and ease it down into the slot by applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge until the card fits securely in the slot.
If you cannot easily insert the card into the slot, do not use force because this
can bend and damage the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the card and try to insert it again.

After Installation

After you have inserted the hardware, tighten the card retaining bracket
firmly on the back of the computer.
Now place the cover back onto your computer and reconnect the peripherals
and the power supply.
