Hardware
Take the following precautionary measures prior to installing the hardware:
1. Ensure the PC is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
2. Also, disconnect the printer and monitor cables (they have their own power supplies) to make absolutely sure the PC is not live.
3. Now unscrew the computer casing.
4. Subsequently, remove any static electricity you may carry on your body. Do this by touching a (neutral) pipe of the central heating system or an
unpainted water pipe, among other things. Please note that you must not use a magnetic screwdriver for this. Before you proceed any further,
briefly touch the iron frame of the PC casing. Make sure that you minimise contact with any contact points of the PC, PCI card or the memory.
5. Find a vacant PCI slot and remove the metal guard plate part of the computer casing in front of the relevant slot. On occasion the card does not
allow for it to be inserted in the PCI slot smoothly. Should this be the case, do not force anything, but try another available slot.
6. Once the card has been successfully installed, check whether all other cards are still properly inserted in the PCI slots. It is possible that the other
PCI cards are lifted up slightly when installing a new PCI card; as a result, the relevant cards or even the entire PC may no longer operate correctly.
7. Replace the casing on the computer base and correctly reconnect all cables.
8. Switch on the PC again.
Installation under Windows 2000 and XP
We advise you to ensure the operating system is up-to-date before starting the installation. This can be easily checked by starting up Internet Explorer
and selecting the option “Windows Update” in the “Extra” menu.
Once the hardware has been detected, Windows shows the following screen:
Select “No, not this time” and click “Next”.

Tick the second option: “Include this location”. Insert the Sweex CD-ROM in the CD-ROM player. Go to the Sweex CD-ROM via “Browse”, and select
the folder “Drivers”. In this folder, select the relevant operating system; winxp or win2k. Then click “Next”.
Note: In the illustration, “X” stands for our CD-ROM drive. This may be a different drive letter!
Now the hardware has been installed successfully. Finally click “Finish”.

Port settings
The Sweex 2 Port Serial ATA RAID PCI Card contains 4 visual Serial ATA connectors. Two of these can be used at the same time. You can opt to
connect Serial ATA devices externally, internally or a combination thereof.
You can determine the active ports by means of so-called Jumper settings (small black blocks on the card). The following is detailed at the jumper
blocks on the card:
Active connector J1 J2 J3 J4 J5 J6 J7 J8
Con–1 and Con–2 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3
Con–3 and Con–4 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2
Con–1 and Con–4 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2
Con–2 and Con–3 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3
“1-2” means that the black jumper block must connect pins 1 and 2; 2 is not detailed on the 2 port Serial ATA RAID PCI card, this is the pin in the
middle. Thus in order to realise 1-2, the jumper block must be positioned on pin 1 (left on the pins and automatically also pin 2).
“2-3” means that the black jumper block must connect pins 2 and 3; 2 is not detailed on the 2 port Serial ATA RAID PCI card, this is the pin in the
middle. Thus in order to realise 2-3, the jumper block must be positioned on pin 3 (right on the pins and automatically also pin 2).
