Installing the FireWire 1394 Card
In this section we will explain how to install your LINDY FireWire 1394 Card into your PC.
1. Power off the computer, and then disconnect the power
cord.
2. Remove each screw found on the back of the computer
and remove the shell from the computer
3. With the power cable disconnected from your computer,
touch the metal part of the case to ground yourself.
This will discharge any static electricity which can
damage your computer.
4. Locate an available PCI expansion slot. This will be in
the area of your computer where other cards that look
similar to this FireWire 1394 Card are installed.
5. Visually confirm that the FireWire 1394 Card will fit into the available slot which you have chosen.
6. If necessary, remove the knockout on the back of the PC which corresponds to the PCI slot you
have confirmed as your selection. If there is a screw, place it in a safe spot as you will be using it to
attach the FireWire 1394 Card.
7. Push the FireWire 1394 Card firmly into the PCI slot. Apply pressure as needed until the edge
connector is completely sealed.
8. Once the FireWire 1394 Card is fully seated, the gold edge connectors are completely in the slot.
9. Mount the 1394 Card in place with a screw. Make sure the screw is firmly tightened so the 1394
Card does not slide out of its seated position.
10. Replace the computers shell and screw it in place.
11. Now that your FireWire 1394 Card is installed and the shell is in place, you can safely connect the
power cable.

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment),
Recycling of Electronic Products
United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all
waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical
and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in
slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical
or electronic products.
More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Germany / Deutschland
Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive umfassende Regelungen für die
Verschrottung und das Recycling von Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese wurden
von der Bundesregierung im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz – ElektroG in deutsches Recht
umgesetzt.
Dieses Gesetz verbietet vom 24.März 2006 an das Entsorgen von entsprechenden, auch alten,
Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne! Diese Geräte müssen den lokalen
Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen Sammelstellen zugeführt werden! Dort werden sie kostenlos
entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren Recyclingprozess übernimmt die Gesamtheit
der Gerätehersteller.
France
En 2006, l'union Européenne a introduit la nouvelle réglementation (WEEE) pour le recyclage de
tout équipement électrique et électronique.
Chaque Etat membre de l’ Union Européenne a mis en application la nouvelle réglementation
WEEE de manières légèrement différentes. Veuillez suivre le décret d’application correspondant
à l’élimination des déchets électriques ou électroniques de votre pays.
Italy
Nel 2006 l’unione europea ha introdotto regolamentazioni (WEEE) per la raccolta e il riciclo di
apparecchi elettrici ed elettronici. Non è più consentito semplicemente gettare queste
apparecchiature, devono essere riciclate.
Ogni stato membro dell’ EU ha tramutato le direttive WEEE in leggi statali in varie misure. Fare
riferimento alle leggi del proprio Stato quando si dispone di un apparecchio elettrico o elettronico.
Per ulteriori dettagli fare riferimento alla direttiva WEEE sul riciclaggio del proprio Stato.
