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 your computer's cover and install the card
in an available PCI Express slot.
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 4-pin power
connector on the FireWire 800 3-Port PCIe board (See
Figure 1 on page 2). This connection is 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.
