INSTALLING THE HDX-SDI HARDWARE
18
6 Remove the HDX-SDI PCIe card from its anti-
static bag.
7 Gently but firmly insert the card into any
available PCIe slot.
Figure 4-1: Inserting the HDX-SDI PCIe card.
8 Secure the bulkhead of the card to the computer
chassis with the bolt from the slot cover.
☛ We strongly recommend securing the
HDX-SDI PCIe card in this manner. Doing so
allows you to ensure secure connections to the card
later on in the installation.
9 Place the cover back on your computer.
10 Reconnect the power cord to the computer
before proceeding.
INSTALLING THE EXPRESSCARD ADAPTER
If you have a laptop ExpressCard adapter for the
HDX-SDI, you can install it as follows, with your
laptop computer turned on or off:
1 Before removing the ExpressCard adapter from
it’s anti-static bag, touch the metal chassis of your
laptop computer to discharge any static electricity
that may have built up on you.
2 Remove the ExpressCard adapter from its anti-
static bag.
3 Insert the adapter into the ExpressCard slot on
your laptop computer with the top of the
ExpressCard adapter (the side with the label on it)
facing up and the mini-HDMI connector (the
smaller of the two connectors) facing out.
Figure 4-2: Inserting the HDX-SDI ExpressCard adapter.
4 Push the adapter into the slot until it clicks into
place.
☛ Do not force the ExpressCard adapter into the
slot. If it does not easily slide into place, remove it
and try again.
When the card is properly seated in the slot, it
should be flush with the side of your laptop.
Removing the ExpressCard adapter
To safely remove the ExpressCard adapter, first
disconnect the HDMI cable, and then push the
adapter inwards until you hear and feel it click.
This releases it from its installed position and it
should pop out of the slot far enough for you to
grasp it and gently remove it. Immediately place it
in its anti-static bag.
CONNECT THE HDX-SDI TO YOUR
COMPUTER
1 Plug one end of the supplied HDMI cable into
the HDMI socket on the PCI card or ExpressCard
adapter as shown below in Figure 4-3.
