Instruction Manual 2

Installation

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 PCI

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 PCI card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (ie. Printers, external

hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of

the computer.

2. Remove the cover from the computer case.

3. Locate an open PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the

computer case.

4. Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and screw the bracket to the rear of the case.

5. Place the cover back onto the computer.

6. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, Mac OS X

No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this FireWire card is natively

supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Installing and Using Your VideoStudio Software

For detailed instructions on the installation and use of the digital editing software, consult the

Ulead VideoStudio manual available on the CD or contact Ulead Systems (www.ulead.com).
