COMPRO T500F - STARTUP Manual page 8

This completes the hardware installation. Please read the following notes and
proceed to install the software.
For best performance, the VideoMate T500F PCI card should not share its IRQ.
For more information, please see the Troubleshooting section.
If the computer cannot be turned on, verify the position of the power patch
cable on the mainboard. Consult the mainboard documentation to determine
the position of the ATX power switch connector.
Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the scheduled
recording time, for example, if you have set ComproDTV 4 to record a program
at 4 o'clock, it will start your computer at 3:55. Therefore, you need to shut
down the computer before 3:54 in order to let Power Up start the computer.
Power Up from Windows Shutdown mode, i.e., ACPI S5
state, requires:
An ATX power supply in your PC.
Motherboard support for PCI version 2.2 in order to
have 3.3V standby power.
ATX powers switch cable, which is a pair of twisted
wires with a two-wire connector, as shown to the
right.
If you don't have the above items, you can still use Power-Up Scheduling with
Windows Stand by mode, i.e., ACPI S3 state, if your system supports it.
You can use VideoMate T500F PCI card without using Power Up Scheduling.
If you don't want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows Shut down
state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections.
The ATX power switch cable is not polarized. You can plug it in either direction.
