3. Hardware Installation
3.1 Preparation for Hardware Installation
The MAYA44 eX PCIe card and other components in the computer can be damaged easily by
electrical shock. You should use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of your
body to avoid potential static damage to the cards. If you do not feel capable of installing a PCIe
card into your computer please contact a computer specialist.
Turn off the computer power and remove the power cable from your computer power supply.
Disconnecting the Power Cord
Refer to your computer user’s manual and remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an
available PCIe slot on your motherboard to install the MAYA44 eX.
Removing the computer cover
To avoid possible static shock damage to the computer parts, discharge it by touching the computer
case or something grounded. We recommend you use an anti-static device such as an anti-static
wristband.
When holding the MAYA44 eX card, touch only the guide or the edge of card. Do not grab the card
by the board or connector.
