Hardware Installation

To simplify installation, it is recommended to first download and install the drivers (ref. Driver and Firmware (Windows) for Microsoft Windows™ and Driver and Firmware (macOS) for Apple macOS™) before the unit is connected to the computer. But it will also work the other way round.

Before installing the PCI Express card, please make sure the computer is completely switched off (S5 State). Inserting or removing the card while the computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!
Before removing the HDSPe AoX-D from its protective bag, discharge any static in your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC while it is connected to ground.

  1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.

  2. Open the computer’s enclosure. Further information on how to do this can be obtained from your computer’s instruction manual.

  3. Insert the HDSPe AoX-D card firmly into a free PCI Express x4 slot and fasten the screw.

  4. Close the computer’s enclosure.

  5. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.
