WARNING! PCI cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged

by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your

computer case or touching your card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear

an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static

strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by

touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for

several seconds. Also, be careful to handle the card by its edges and not the

gold connectors.

1. Power down the computer. As an additional precaution, you may wish to disconnect

the computer from the power source.

Instruction Manual

2. Remove the computer cover. For more detailed instruction on how to perform this

step, please refer to the documentation that was included with your computer at the

time of purchase.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot and remove the metal bracket covering the accompanying

empty port/socket.

4. PCI1394_2 only: If you need to change the bracket to fit your case requirements,

please remove the two screws fastening the bracket to the circuit board using a

Philips (cross-head) screwdriver, then replace with the secondary bracket (included).

5. Position the card above the open PCI slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned

with the slot. Insert the card firmly into the slot, distributing force evenly across the

length of the board. Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining socket

(previously covered by metal bracket), using the correct size screw.

6. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer (if it was

removed in Step #1).

Software Installation

Once the computer has been restarted following the physical installation of the card,

Windows® 2000/XP/Vista will automatically detect and install the correct driver for the

FireWire adapter.

To verify that the driver has correctly been installed:

1. Right-click on the My Computer icon. If you are using Windows Vista, right-click on

Computer.

2. Select Manage, to open the Computer Management window.

3. In the left pane of the Computer Management window, click on Device Manager.

4. In the right pane of the Computer Management window, click on IEEE 1394 Bus host

controller. Here, you should see VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller

listed.
