PC Users

(1)Turn off your computer and disconnect all external peripheral devices and cables, i.e. power cord, network cable, monitor, etc.

(2)Remove your computer’s cover. For most standard PC’s, there are screws that will need to be unseated before you can remove the computer’s cover, and these screws are usually located at the rear of the computer, along the edge of the cover. However, placement of these screws and cover attachment may vary by manufacturer, so please refer to your computer system’s manual for specific details.

(3)Once you have removed the cover, you will need to locate the PCI slots on the motherboard. The PCI slots are generally located in the back of the computer, with the slots built into the side-wall of the computer ( please refer to your computer system’s manual for the exact location of your PCI slots or refer to the diagram in this manual – the Vantec FireWire 800 PCI Card may be installed in either a 32 or 64-bit PC card slot). If necessary, you may need toI remove the expansion slot cover,
