PU011 Sweex 1 Port Parallel PCI Express Card
Introduction
• Do not expose the PU011 to extreme temperatures. Do not place the device in direct sun light or close to heating elements.
• Do not use the PU011 in extremely dusty or moist environments.
• Prevent hard shocks or impacts of the device, as this can cause damage to the internal electronics.
Hardware Installation
1. Make sure the computer is turned off and that there is no power connected.
2. Also remove the printer and monitor cable, because these have their own power supply.
3. Now unscrew the computer casing.
4. Make sure that you undo yourself of possible static electricity. This can be done by grabbing a (naked) central heating pipe or
an unpainted water pipe. Pay attention not to use a magnetic screwdriver. Briefly touch the iron frame of the PC casing. Avoid
direct contact with the contact points of the PCIe slot and contact points on the graphics card.
5. Locate a free PCIe slot and remove the metal protection plate that is in the computer casing for the intended slot. Consult the
manual of your computer to find the PCIe slot.
6. When possible fasten the card with screws so it can not move.
7. When the card is mounted successfully, check if the other cards are still fitted properly in their expansion slot. It can happen
that when a new card is added the other cards rise a little with as result that the card, or even the entire computer, may not
work.
8. Close the computer casing and reconnect all cables properly.
9. Turn on the computer.
