Hardware Installation

1. Power off your computer and disconnect all connected devices and peripherals.

3. Locate the PCI slots on your computer’s main circuit board. Locate a free PCI slot. Remove the metal plate that covers the rear slot corresponding to the PCI slot you had selected. You may need a cross-head/Phillips screwdriver to remove any screws. See the image below for your reference.

4. Remove the FireWire card from its protective static bag.
   Handle it by the metal bracket only, and do not touch the gold edge connectors. Insert the card into the PCI slot, carefully aligning the rear bracket to the computer case.
   Make sure that the gold fingers are fully inserted into the slot.

5. Fasten the card securely using the screw that was used to hold the rear bracket.

6. Close the computer case.

7. Reattach all peripherals to your computer, and turn the power on.
