Hardware Installation

Note: For Low Profile systems, replace the currently

mounted bracket with the included Low Profile bracket.

General instructions for installing the card are provided

below. Since the design of computer cases and

motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference

manual for further information, if needed.

Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage

your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in

your body by touching your computer case for a few

seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and handle

cards only by their external edges.

1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any

connected peripheral device.

2. Unplug the computer's power cord, remove the

cover and install the card in an available PCI slot.

3. Push the board down firmly, but gently, until it is

well seated.

4. Connect an available 4-pin power connector from

the system power supply to the 4-pin power

connector on the DP FireWire 800 PCI-32T (see

Figure 1 on page 2). This connection is recommended

for reliable power output.

5. Secure the card and replace the cover.
