Installation Guide Installing the USB Port (PCI) In this section we will explain how to install your USB Port (PCI) into your PC. Next to each step there is a check box for your convenience. After each step has been completed, simply mark the check box and move to the next step. Step 1 r Power off the computer, then disconnect the power cord. Step 2 r 10 Remove each screw found on the back of the computer and remove the shell from the computer.
Step 3 r With the power cable disconnected from your computer, touch the metal part of the case to ground yourself. This will discharge any static electricity which can damage your computer. Step 4 r Locate an available PCI expansion slot. This will be in the area of your computer where other cards that look similar to the USB Port are installed. Step 5 r Visually confirm that the USB Port will fit into the available slot you have chosen.
Step 6 r If necessary, remove the knockout on the back of the PC which corresponds to the PCI slot you have confirmed as your selection. If there is a screw, place it in a safe spot as you will be using it to attach the USB Port. Step 7 r Push the USB Port card firmly into the PCI slot. Apply pressure as needed until the edge connector is completely sealed. Step 8 r Once the USB Port is fully seated, the gold edge connectors are completely in the slot.
Step 9 r Mount the USB Port in place with a screw. Make sure the screw is firmly tightened so the USB Port does not slide out of its seated position. Step 10 r Replace the computers shell and screw it in place. Step 11 r Now that your USB Port card is installed and the shell is in place, you can safely connect the power cable and move on to the next page for setting up the software for the USB Port.
Installing the Software Drivers (For Windows 98/ME/2000) Note: For Windows ME/2000, it may self install with out your intervention. You can verify if the card is installed properly by checking the Device Manager. The card will appear under the category “Universal Serial Bus Controller”. It should have an entry for a “USB Open Host Controller” and the “USB Root hub” When you initially connect your USB Port, Windows will automatically detect you have a new device and thus request the Windows 98 CD.
Step 3 r If the default path to the Windows 98 directory on your CD-ROM is incorrect, you will see a dialog box as shown in the picture below. Simply type in the correct path to your CD-ROM and the word “WIN98” (example d:\win98) drive and left mouse click one time on the button that says “OK.” Installing the Extension Software (For MAC OS 8.6 or later) For MAC OS users, please follow the steps below to enable the USB card. (Internet Connection is required to download the enabler) 1.
Using Your USB Port (PCI) Initializing USB Devices When you first connect a USB device to your USB Port, Windows will automatically detect the presence of new hardware. It will request software drivers. The installation of these software drivers are very similar to the driver installation for your USB Port, so you can use the driver installation of this manual as a reference. Adding Additional USB Port Cards You can add additional USB Port cards to your PC as you may need them.
