Note: The Power Connector (same as the one used
with your floppy disk drive) is designed to provide
additional power to the board when needed. This
connection is recommended. We recommend to
connect this power connector when the following
conditions occur:
- All ports are used.
- Device(s) not being detected.
In case you need to connect this power connector,
power off your system first before making this
connection.

Hardware Installation
General instructions for installing the card are provided
below. Since the design of computer cases and
motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference
manual for further information, if needed.
Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage
your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in
your body by touching your computer’s case for a few
seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and
handle cards only by their external edges.
1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any
other connected peripheral devices. Unplug the
computer's power cord.
2. Remove the computer cover and install the card in
an available PCI Express slot.
Note: For low-profile system chassis, remove the
installed full size bracket and install the spare low
profile bracket now.
3. Push the board down firmly, but gently, until it is
well seated.
4. Connect an available 4-pin power connector from
the system power supply to the Power Connector
on the DP FireWire 800 PCIe board (See Figure 1 on
page 2). This connection is optional, but
recommended for reliable power output. The
included "Y" split power cable can be used to
provide additional 4-pin power connectors.
5. Secure the card and replace the cover.
