Introduction to PCI Express
For the last 10 years, PCI has been the mainstream interface
for personal PCs, with nearly every computer using the
same PCI bus specification—32-bit, running at 33MHz, and
yielding a maximum data-transfer rate of only 133.3Mbps.
In today’s information age, with data size growing
exponentially, there is increased demand for faster transfer
rates. This demand led to Intel’s development of the PCI
Express standard, which offers increased speed and stability
for data transfers.
Common PCI Express bus forms include x1, x2, x4, x8,
and x16, with each form being characterized by a unique
slot design. A one-path transmission on a one-lane (x1) PCI
Express bus can reach speeds of up to 250MB—nearly
double the standard PCI transmission speed. A 16-lane (x16)
PCI Express bus can reach speeds of up to 16Gbps.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must install the FireWire 800 and
USB 2.0 PCI Express Card drivers prior to installing the
hardware in your computer.
1. Insert the FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 PCIe installation CD
into your CD-ROM drive. After a few moments, the main
menu will automatically start.
NOTE: If the main CD does not auto-start, click the
“Start” button and select “Run”. From the “Run” dialogue
box, enter “<driver>:\setup.exe” and click “OK” (where
“<driver>” represents the letter that identifies your CD-
ROM drive under “My Computer”—e.g., if the CD is in
drive D, enter “D:\setup.exe”).
2. Select “Install Driver”. The Software Installation Wizard will
appear and begin to download drivers.

3. If you receive the following “Software Installation”
notice, click on “Continue Anyway” to continue with the
installation process.
4. After the files have been successfully copied over, a
window will appear to confirm that driver installation is
complete. Click “OK” to complete the installation process.
5. You will be asked if you want to restart your computer
now or later. Select “No, I will restart my computer later”
and perform a manual shutdown through the “Start”

1. After completion of software setup, shut down your
computer and disconnect all connected devices and
peripherals.
2. Remove the cover from your computer. Refer to your
computer manufacturer’s user manual for details on how
to do this. Touch any bare metal portion of your computer
case to discharge yourself of any static electricity. This
prevents damage to your computer and the PCI Express
Card.
3. Locate the PCI Express slot on your computer’s main
circuit board. Remove the metal plate that covers the
rear slot corresponding to the PCI Express slot you have
selected (see image below).
4. Remove the PCI Express Card from its protective anti-
static packaging. Handle it by the metal bracket; do not
touch the gold-edged connectors. Insert the PCI Express
Card into the PCI Express slot, carefully aligning the rear
bracket to the computer case. Make sure that the edge of
the PCI Express Card is fully inserted into the slot.

1. Right-click on “My Computer” and
select “Manage”.
2. Select the “Device Manager” tab.
3. Click the (+) sign next to “IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers”.
The “IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers” will now include
one “Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host
Controller” entry.
4. Click the (+) sign next to “Universal Serial Bus controllers”.
It will now include two “NEC PCI to USB Open Host
Controller” entries and one “Standard Enhanced PCI to
USB Host Controller” entry.
