Instruction Manual

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.

Installing the Card

1.Make sure that your computer power cord is unplugged and you are grounded.

2.Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3.Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color; a 64-bit slot will be longer than a

32-bit slot) and remove the metal plate that covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. Retain this screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4.Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

NOTE: If you are using the PCI1394B_3 card in a 32-bit slot, make sure that the exposed end of the card is not in contact with any conducting parts on your motherboard. Not all motherboards allow 64-bit cards to fit into 32-bit slots.

5.Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6.Put the computer case back on.

Installing the Drivers

Windows (all versions)

Insert the driver CD into your CD-ROM or other optical drive. Go to My Computer and double click the icon that represents your CD drive. Double click the ubCorexxx.exe file. When prompted, choose the Typical Install option. Follow the on-screen prompts until you receive a message stating the installation is complete.

MacOS users

Your operating system includes support for the FireWire card without the installation of additional software, with the limitations noted under “System Requirements” on page 1. The operating system will automatically detect and configure the FireWire card.

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. From My Computer right click the icon for your CD-ROM or other optical drive and select Explore. Open the Manual folder and select your language. (Note: To view the manual, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available as a free download from the Adobe Web site, www.adobe.com.) StarTech.com recommends carefully reading the instructions supplied by Ulead before attempting to install or use the software.
