Installing the PCI Express card

1. Shut down all power connected to the computer, as well as all devices connected to

the computer peripherally (i.e. Printers, Monitors, Scanners etc.). As an added step to

ensure safe installation, unplug the power supply from the computer.

2. Remove the computer cover. For more detailed instruction on how to perform this

step, please refer to the documentation that was included with your computer at the

time of purchase.

3. Locate an empty PCI Express slot, removing the metal bracket covering the

accompanying empty port/socket.

4. Position the card above the open PCI Express slot, ensuring that the card is properly

aligned with the slot. Insert the card firmly into the slot, distributing force evenly across

the length of the board. Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining socket

(previously covered by metal bracket), using the correct size screw (if necessary,

please consult documentation that accompanied purchase of computer).

5. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer.

Instruction Manual

3, 4 - USB 2.0 High-Speed Independent External port

5 - IEEE 1394b FireWire800 Independent Internal port

6 - USB2.0 High-Speed Independent Internal port to front panel (optional)

7 - 4-pin Internal Power Connector

8 - USB 2.0 High-Speed Independent Internal port

Driver installation

Once the computer is fully booted following the physical installation of the card, Windows

will install the necessary support files in order for the added ports to function. To

maximize the performance of the card, please install the software from the PCI Express

card Driver CD:

1. Insert the Driver CD into your CD/DVD-ROM drive.

2. Browse to, and execute the Setup.exe file:

D:\USB\USB2.0-NEC\Windows\Setup.exe, where D:\ designates

your CD/DVD-ROM drive. This will install the necessary software

for the added USB ports. Similarly, please locate and execute the

Setup.exe file located in D:\1394\, which will install the necessary

software for the newly added FireWire ports.

3. The driver will install automatically. To ensure optimal functionality, please do not break

off the installation, once it is in progress. Please note that unplugging a device

without first stopping operation can cause the computer to crash, risking any unsaved

data. Please ensure that any devices being removed are not operating when detached

from the computer. One way to ensure that the device(s) are safely unplugged would

be to locate the following icon on the taskbar (if available):

Please click on the icon to launch the

hardware removal wizard.

Verifying installation

Once the PCI Express card has been installed, browse to the Device Manager (Start >

Control Panel > System >Hardware > Device Manager) to verify that the card has

been successfully installed. Once the Device Manager has loaded, please click on the

[+] symbols located next to Universal Serial Bus controllers, IEEE 1394 Bus host

controllers, and System devices which will look like the following, if correctly installed:

Following this, your card will be ready for use.

Often times, this problem is caused by an operating system that has not yet been

updated to recent standards (i.e. Windows XP will require the most recent Service

Packs):

Please ensure that the most recent updates have been applied to your operating system:

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties to check your operating system

service pack version, as illustrated below:

The computer cannot detect the PCI Express card

1. Ensure that the PCI Express card is correctly plugged into the PCI Express slot. If it is

not, please reseat the card.

2. If the PCI Express card is plugged in correctly, remove the card and verify that the gold

conduits which are in contact with the PCI Express slot are clean. If not, please clean

the connector surface.

3. Please enter the Device Manager to verify that PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge
