4. Installation :
4.1. Hardware Installation :
PC Users
(1) Turn off your computer and disconnect all
external peripheral devices and cables, i.e.
power cord, network cable, monitor, etc.
(2) Remove your computer’s cover. For most
standard PC’s, there are screws that will
need to be unseated before you can
remove the computer’s cover, and these
screws are usually located at the rear of
the computer, along the edge of the cover.
However, placement of these screws and cover
attachment may vary by manufacturer, so
please refer to your computer system’s
manual for specific details.
(3) Once you have removed the cover, you will
need to locate the PCI slots on the motherboard.
The PCI slots are generally located in the back
of the computer, with the slots built into the
side-wall of the computer ( please refer to
your computer system’s manual for the
exact location of your PCI slots or refer to the
diagram in this manual – the Vantec FireWire
800 PCI Card may be installed in either a 32 or
64-bit PC card slot). If necessary, you may
need toI remove the expansion slot cover,

and you may also need to remove any add-in
boards which may block the access to the
PCI slots.
(4) Take the Vantec FireWire PCI Card out of its
anti-static bag and push the card into the empty
PCI card slot. The card should be mounted with
the circuitry facing down. This is the only
way to mount the card, so if you are having
problems inserting the card into the PCI slot,
make sure that it is oriented correctly. Be sure that
the gold contact pins of the PCI card are seated
completely inside your computer’s PCI slot.
Be aware that it may take some force to get
the card fully seated in the slot.
(5) Once the PCI card is seated correctly, tighten
with a screw, and, if necessary, replace any
peripherals that you removed in Step 3.
(6) Now you are ready to put the computer’s
cover back on and reconnect all of your
external peripheral devices and cables.
(7) Power on your computer. After the start up
procedure has finished, you should be able
to connect devices through the available
FireWire ports.

(2) Remove your computer’s cover by pulling the
latch on the side, and gently lower the side of the
computer onto a flat, non-abrasive surface.
(3) Once you have removed the cover, you will need
to locate the PCI slots on the motherboard. The
PCI slots are generally located in the back of the
computer, with the slots built into the side-wall
of the computer (please refer to your computer
system’s manual for the exact location of your
PCI slots). If necessary, you may need to remove
the expansion slot cover, and you may also need
to remove any add-in boards which block access
to the PCI slots.
(4) Take the Vantec FireWire PCI Card out of its
anti-static bag and push the card into the empty
PCI card slot. The card should be mounted with
the circuitry and three FireWire connectors facing
down. This is the only way to mount the card, so
if you are having problems inserting the card into
the PCI slot, make sure that it is oriented correctly.
Be sure that the gold contact pins of the PCI card
are seated completely inside your computer’s PCI
slot. Be aware that it may take some force to get
the card fully seated in the slot.
(5) Once the PCI card is seated correctly, tighten with a
screw, and, if necessary, replace any add-in boards
