Power Down the LDVR-3U
When replacing or adding any new PCI card, turn off the power switch and
disconnect the power cord. It is not enough to shut down Windows and just turn
the system off because the motherboard keeps standby power on the PCI
connector to support the wake up feature. The motherboard has an LED near the
RAM, which indicates if the power is really off.
Physically Add or Replace Digital Video Capture Card(s)
1. Remove the chassis cover.
2. If you are replacing existing video card(s) remove the old video card(s).
3. Insert the new video card(s) in the order listed below, where PCI slot #1 is
the slot closest to the CPU.
Note: Although LDVR-3U configurations 2 and 4 are not configured in a single
RAID 5 array a RAID controller board is utilized as an EIDE controller.

RAID controller board is PCI slot #1
DV-8UP-S in PCI slot #3 (for video channels 1-8)
DV-8UP-S in PCI slot #4 (for video channels 9-16)
DV-8UP-S in PCI slot #5 (for video channels 17-24)
DV-8UP-S in PCI slot #6 (for video channels 25-32)
