Quick StartPCI-1712/1712L
Unpacking
The PCI-1712/1712L package should contain the
following items:
þ PCI-1712/1712L card
þ Companion CD-ROM disc
þ User’s Manual
þ Quick Start
Driver Installation
Step 1: Insert the companion disc into your CD-
ROM drive.
Step 2: The Setup Program will be launched
automatically, and you’ll see the following
Setup Screen.
Select the DLL Drivers installation option.
(If autoplay is not enabled, please use
Windows Explorer or Windows Run
command to execute setup.exe on CD-
ROM).
Step 3: Select the Windows 95/98 or Windows
NT option according to your operating
system.
Step 4: Follow the installation instructions step
by step to complete your DLL driver
setup.
Hardware Installation
Step 1: Turn off your computer and unplug the
power cord and cables
Step 2: Remove the cover of your computer
Step 3: Remove the slot cover on the back panel
of your computer
Step 4: Touch the metal part of your computer
chassis to discharge static electricity on
your body
Step 5: Insert the PCI-1712/1712L card into a
PCI slot. Hold the card only by its edges
and carefully align it with the slot, then
insert the card firmly into place. Use of
excessive force must be avoided otherwise
the card might be damaged.
Step 6: Fasten the bracket of the PCI card on the
back panel rail of the computer with
screws
Step 7: Connect appropriate accessories (68-pin
cable, wiring terminals, etc., if necessary)
to the PCI card.
Step 8: Replace the cover of your computer
chassis. Re-connect the cables you
removed in step 2.
Step 9:Plug in the power cord and turn on the
computer
Verifying your Installation
w Access the Device Manager through the Control
Panel/System/Device Manager. On the Device
Manager tab of the System Property sheet, you
can see the Device Name of the PCI-1712/
1712L listed on it.
