the computer.
Note: Do not plug any devices into the Card until driver
initialization is completely finished.

Controller” and complete the installation automatically. You will
receive a message stating, “Your hardware is ready to use.”
Note: Depending on the speed of your computer, it may take up
to 30–60 seconds for the Card to be detected.
