Installation of the drivers to support

Panasonic P2 media requires that a P2 memory card be

inserted into one of the Qio MR’s P2 slots at the time the installer
is run. Otherwise, the installer will not work. If you don’t have a
P2 card, you may run this installer at a later time.

Support Note:

If your computer fails to operate with

the Qio MR installed, remove the PCIe card and contact

Sonnet support; refer to Contacting Sonnet Customer Support at
the end of this manual. For further info, check the Qio MR FAQs
