Hardware Installation

1. Shut down all power connected to the computer, as well as all devices connected
to the computer peripherally (i.e. Printers, Monitors, Scanners etc.). Optional: As an
added step to ensure safe installation, unplug the power supply from the computer.

2. Remove the computer cover. For more detailed instruction on how to perform this
step, please refer to the documentation that was included with your computer at
the time of purchase.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot, removing the metal bracket covering the accompanying
empty port/socket.

4. Position the PCI USB card above the open PCI slot, ensuring that the card is aligned
with the entire slot. Insert the card rmly into the slot, distributing force evenly
across the length of the board. Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining
socket (previously covered by metal bracket), using the correct size screw (please
consult documentation that accompanied purchase of computer).

5. Replace the computer cover.

6. If unplugged, plug computer and all peripherals back in to power source. Turn your
computer on.

7. Once the computer has fully booted, connect USB peripherals to the ports provided
(as necessary). If you are using Windows XP/2000, please ensure that your computer
has the most recent Service Packs installed. If the necessary updates have already
been installed, Windows will automatically detect that the PCI card has been
installed, and install the necessary drivers automatically.
