1. Hardware Installation
Step 1.1:
Please make sure that your PC is completely disconnected before installing the TV
card. Make sure that all parts are potential-free, otherwise there is a risk that by static
electricity (when touching with your hands), the card could be damaged.
Put the TV card into a free PCIe slot (see the operating instructions of your PC
Motherboards). In no case does the card fit into other slots that do not conform to the
PCIe specification. Please note that there is enough space for installation and for
example no graphics card fan disturbs. Please make sure the card fit in PCIe Slot
tightly.
Step 1.2:
If you want to connect the card to a large motor, or the power supply is with the PCIe
slot not sufficient, the supplied internal power cable must be additionally connected.
