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 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.
2. Unplug the power cord and remove your computer's
cover.
3. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI slot.

5. Carefully align the card to the selected PCI slot,
push the board down firmly, but gently, until it is
well seated.
6. Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the
card.
7. Mount the second parallel port and secure it with
