2.1 Unpacking
2.1.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
HDC-701EL may result in permanent damage to the capture card and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the video/audio capture card. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the video/audio capture card, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the video/audio capture card, place
it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
video/audio capture card.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.1.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the video/audio capture card is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the video/audio capture card
does not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components listed in Section 2.1.3 are present.

2.1.3 Unpacking Checklist
NOTE:
If some of the components listed in the checklist below are missing,
please do not proceed with the installation. Contact the IEI reseller or
vendor you purchased the HDC-701EL from or contact an IEI sales
representative directly. To contact an IEI sales representative, please
send an email to [email protected].

2.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
oThe user manual provides a complete description of the HDC-701EL
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
oElectronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the HDC-701EL on an anti-static pad:
oWhen installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an anti-static
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the HDC-701EL off:
oWhen working with the HDC-701EL, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.

HDC-701EL Video/Audio Capture Card
Before and during the installation of the HDC-701EL, DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
2.3 Video/Audio Capture Card Installation
The HDC-701EL video/audio capture card has a PCIe x1 interface. To install the
HDC-701EL, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Align the PCIe edge connector on the bottom of the video/audio capture card
with the PCIe x1 slot on the system motherboard.
