MODE D'EMPLOI PU102 SWEEX

PU102 Sweex 2 Port Serial ATA PCI Card

Introduction

First of all, many thanks for purchasing this Sweex 2 Port Serial ATA PCI Card. This card enables you to simply add two Serial ATA ports to your PC. This card at the same time offers you the option of using these externally, internally or a combination of the two.

To ensure this product operates correctly, we advise you to carefully read this manual first. If despite this manual you still experience problems during installation or operation of this product, go to www.sweex.com and look under the heading service & support.

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 supplies) to make absolutely sure the PC is not live.
3. Now unscrew the computer casing.
4. Subsequently, remove any static electricity you may carry on your body. Do this by touching a (neutral) pipe of the central heating system or an unpainted water pipe, among other things. Please note that you must not use a magnetic screwdriver for this. Before you proceed any further, briefly touch the iron frame of the PC casing. 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 for it 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. Replace the casing on the computer base and correctly reconnect all cables.
8. Switch on the PC again.

Installation under Windows 2000 and XP
