Installation
4. Installation :
(4) Take the Vantec FireWire PCI Card out of its
anti-static bag and push the card into the empty
PCI card slot. The card should be mounted with
the circuitry facing down. This is the only
way to mount the card, so if you are having
problems inserting the card into the PCI slot,
make sure that it is oriented correctly. Be sure that
the gold contact pins of the PCI card are seated
completely inside your computer’s PCI slot.
Be aware that it may take some force to get
the card fully seated in the slot.
(5) Once the PCI card is seated correctly, tighten
with a screw, and, if necessary, replace any
peripherals that you removed in Step 3.
(6) Now you are ready to put the computer’s
cover back on and reconnect all of your
external peripheral devices and cables.
(7) Power on your computer. After the start up
procedure has finished, you should be able
to connect devices through the available
FireWire ports.
and you may also need to remove any add-in
boards which may block the access to the
PCI slots.
