I. Hardware Installation

The installation of AlchemyTV™ is a two step process starting with the hardware installation into
your PowerMac. AlchemyTV™ is a PCI card that should be installed in a free expansion slot of your
Mac.

1.

Open the side door of your PowerMac. Locate an unused
PCI slot. Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the
retaining screw from the PCI expansion slots access panel, then
remove the access panel itself.

2.

Align the connector end of the card with the PCI expansion slot
and insert the card. Secure the card with the screw that you
removed in the previous step.

II. Software Installation

1.

Insert the Installation CD that shipped with your AlchemyTV™ card into your CD/DVD drive.

2.

Double-click on the ‘’Install AlchemyTV™” icon to launch the installer. Select the hard drive of

your choice and click on ‘Install’. Note that you will be asked for your administrator password when
performing the installation.

3.

Once the installation process is finished, restart your Mac.

The installer software will have created a folder containing all the necessary applications to run
AlchemyTV™. Start by launching the AlchemyTV™ application

Serial Number
AlchemyTV™ requires you to enter a serial number provided with your card. Enter this number in
order to use the software.
