Hardware Installation
2.2.1 Hardware Configuration
The PCI-DMC-A01 is treated as a standard Plug and Play device by the PC. Basic
system function such as memory allocation and I/O port assignments can all be
managed through the PC system's BIOS. The user does not need to configure the
hardware directly.
2.2.2 PCI Slot Selection
IMPORTANT: If the user's PC system contains both ISA and PC expansion slots, do
not insert this product into the ISA expansion slot! The card is not only physically
incompatible but is also designed for use with PCI only, so it will only work normally in a
PCI expansion slot.
2.2.3 Physically Installing the Card

Turn off the power of the system in which you will be installing the
PCI-DMC-A01 card and disconnect all peripheral devices such as printers
and monitors. Make sure that the power supply is still connected and
grounded at this point.
Touch the back plate of the system case to discharge any static electricity on
your body. Once you are finished, disconnect the system's power supply.
Open the system case, choose an empty PCI slot, and remove the
corresponding back plate. Watch out for any sharp edges on the metal plating
during the removal process.
