Hardware installation
The guidelines below are general and apply in most cases. However, since all PCs are different it is advisable to check your
computer’s instruction manual for specific information. For example, on some PC cases the front panel needs to be removed
first in order the access the cover mounting screws.
1. Turn off all power to your computer, unplug it from the mains and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the computer cover.
3. Position the computer so that you can easily see and access its motherboard.
4. Locate a free PCIe expansion slot and remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the back of the computer. This
may involve removing a screw, which will be used later to secure the card into place.
5. With the MADI connectors facing towards the rear panel of the computer, offer up the card to the chosen socket. Gently
push the card into the slot until it fits into place – do not use excessive force but ensure that the card is fully inserted into
the slot before proceeding to the next step.
6. If applicable, use the screw which held the expansion slot cover to secure the card.
7. Replace the computer cover.
8. Reconnect your peripheral devices, connect the computer to the mains, and switch it on.
