Hardware Take the following precautionary measures prior to installing the hardware: 1. Ensure the PC is switched off and disconnected from the mains. 2. Also, disconnect the printer and monitor cables (they have their own power supply) to be absolutely sure that the PC is not live. 3. Now unscrew the computer casing. 4. After having unscrewed the computer casing, you must ensure that you are free of any static electricity. Do this by touching a (neutral) pipe of the central heating system or an unpainted water pipe. Please note that you must not use magnetic screwdrivers. Before you proceed any further, briefly touch the iron frame of the PC casing. Furthermore, make sure that you minimise contact with any contact points of the PC, PCI card or the memory. 5. Find a vacant PCI slot and remove the metal guard plate part of the computer casing in front of the relevant slot. On occasion the card does not allow to be inserted in the PCI slot smoothly. Should this be the case, do not force anything, but try another available slot. 6. Once the card has been successfully installed, check whether all other cards are still properly inserted in the PCI slots. It is possible that the other PCI cards are lifted up slightly when installing a new PCI card; as a result, the relevant cards or even the entire PC may no longer operate correctly. 7. You can now replace the casing on the computer base and correctly reconnect all cables to and from the PC. 8. Now switch on the PC again. 9. Windows will now detect the card.

Installation under Windows 2000 and XP We advise you to ensure the operating system is up-to-date before starting the installation. This can be easily checked by starting up Internet Explorer and selecting the option “Windows Update” in the “Extra” menu. No drivers are required for installation under Windows 2000 and Windows XP; they are all incorporated in the operating system and the Sweex PCI Combo Card will be installed automatically. If you do not have the possibility of updating Windows, a separate VIA USB 2.0 driver must be installed in order to use the USB 2.0 feature. It can be found in the Sweex autorun menu (starts automatically after inserting the CD-ROM) under the “VIA USB2.0 Driver” button. Should the CD-ROM not start automatically, or if it is already in the CD-ROM player, the CD-ROM can be started by double clicking the small CD-ROM icon titled Sweex in “My Computer”.
Internal power supply If so-called bus-powered FireWire devices are used, the 4 port USB 2.0 & 2 port Firewire PCI card offers the possibility of connecting an internal power supply: • Molex connection (15 Watt max capacity)
