3. Hardware Installation
3.1 Preparation for Hardware Installation
The MAYA44 XTe PCIe card and other components in the computer can be damaged easily by
electrical shock. You should use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of your
body to avoid potential static damage to the cards. If you do not feel capable of installing a PCIe
card into your computer please contact a computer specialist.
Turn off the computer power and remove the power cable from your computer power supply.
Disconnecting the Power Cord
Refer to your computer user’s manual and remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an
available PCIe slot on your motherboard to install the MAYA44 XTe.
