4 Hardware Installation This section will describe how to install the TurboCap board on a PC. To install the board, follow these steps: 1. Power off your PC and unplug the power cable. 2. Open the PC chassis and locate an available PCIe 4x or 8x slot. NOTE: most PCs have a PCIe 16x slot dedicated for graphics cards, called PEG (PCI Express Graphics). Do not install the TurboCap board in such a slot; these slots do not support 4x or 8x speeds when not used with a graphics card. 3. Insert the TurboCap board into the slot securing it in place. 4. Close the chassis, connect the power cable, and restart the system. Driver Installation (Windows XP/Vista/7) Important: Do NOT install the software before installing the TurboCap board. Please follow the steps above to install the hardware first. To install the software, follow these steps: 1. Power on your PC. 2. Depending on the operating system version, at the first reboot after installing the board, Windows may show the Found New Hardware Wizard (Figure 1) or Found New Hardware (Figure 2) once per port. Click on Cancel. Figure 1: Found New Hardware Wizard (Windows XP). Figure 2: Found New Hardware (Windows Vista). 4

5 On Windows 7, a tooltip will appear on the bottom right corner first telling you that Windows is installing the device driver software, and then that the Device driver software was not successfully installed. (See Figure 3). Please ignore this message. Figure 3: Device Driver Software Not Successfully Installed (Windows 7). 3. Insert the TurboCap Software Distribution CD into your CD drive. 4. The CD setup page should appear automatically. If it does not, please select your CD-Rom Drive and manually open the setup page. Figure 4: The Installation Setup Page - Install Driver. 5

6 5. Click on Install Driver to initiate the installation. 6. Follow the installation instructions. The installer tries to detect if WinPcap is already installed in the machine, and if the installed WinPcap version supports the TurboCap board. If not, you will be asked to upgrade WinPcap during the installation. 7. (Windows XP) During the installation, the operating system may show a Security Alert dialog (Figure 5). Choose Yes. (Windows Vista) During the installation, the operating system may show a Windows Security dialog (Figure 6). Choose Install this driver software anyway. Figure 5: Security Alert Dialog (Windows XP). Figure 6: Windows Security Dialog (Windows Vista/Windows 7). Upon completing the software installation, reboot the system if requested. 6
