Installing a DeckLink PCIe card
1. Shutdown and remove the power plug from the back of your PC. This is a safety precaution before
opening your computer. Ensure that you are statically discharged by using a static strap.
2. Remove the chassis cover of your PC to gain access to the PCI Express slots.
3. Remove your DeckLink PCIe card from the protective static bag making sure you don’t touch the
gold connectors on the base of the card. Although there are no electronics on this card, these
precautions should be taken when handling any PCI Express card.
4. Find a spare PCIe slot within the PC. PCIe x1 lane cards should work in any slot. PCIe x4 lane cards
require a x4 lane or faster PCI Express slot. Remove the metal port access cover and screw, from
the back of your PC.
5. Insert your DeckLink PCIe card and ensure that it clicks firmly into place.
6. Secure the card with the screw and replace the side cover of your PC.
7. After installing your DeckLink PCIe card and closing the side cover on your PC, attach the supplied
DeckLink breakout cable to to the external multi-pin connector on your DeckLink card. Some card
models ship with both professional and consumer breakout cables for connecting to different video
hardware. Attach the appropriate breakout cable for your needs.
Install a DeckLink PCIe x1 or x4 lane card in a compatible PCI
Express slot as shown in the above picture. The DeckLink
HD Extreme 3D also has an HDMI bracket, which installs in
any spare port, and connects to the rear of the card with the
supplied HDMI cables.
