Installing the interface Card
Screw the interface card onto the PC Backplate using the two jack post screws that are
already pre-inserted into the card.
With the top lid removed from your controller locate the motor loom on the backplate (This
cable is covered in a black cable sleeve). Use the image below as a reference.

You will notice that this cable has another 2-core cable wrapped around it and secured with
a cable tie. Carefully snip the cable tie and unravel the cable. At the end of the cable there
will be a crimped 10-way black header, inserted into this header block will be a black link.
Remove the link and store it somewhere safe, as it will have to be refitted if a Logitech
joystick is refitted in the future.
With the 2-way pin removed insert the 10-way header into the rear of the Deva 031
interface card as shown below.

Remove one of the blanking plates on the PC backplate and place the joystick card into the
now empty slot. Use the same screw you remove from the blanking plate to hold it in place,
then plug the short USB cable into the card and the other end into the one of the USB ports
on the back of your controller. Check that none of the cables inside the controller pc are
likely to foul on the CPU cooling fan and refit the pc cover.
