Hardware Installation

Warning

Unplug your PC’s main power cord before installing VideoMate Vista

E500F PCIe card. Failure to do so may cause damage to your VideoMate

Vista E500F PCIe card and void your warranty.

1. Shut down your computer and unplug main power cord.

2. Remove the computer case cover.

Power Up Connections

3. Locate the ATX power switch pins on your computer case and trace the

wires to the power switch connector on your mainboard. The ATX power

switch cable is normally a twisted pair cable with a two-pin connector as

shown above.

Note

On the mainboard, the ATX power switch pins are usually labeled “POWER

SW” or similar. It is vital to remember the position of these pins for a later step

in the installation process.

4. Unplug the ATX power switch cable from the

mainboard and connect it to the white

connector named “JS1” on the VideoMate

Vista E500F PCIe card, as shown on the

right.

5. Connect the black socket of Power

Up patch cable to the power switch

connector on the mainboard.

6. Connect the white socket of Power Up

patch cable to the connector named “JS2”

on the VideoMate Vista E500F PCIe

Tuner card.

Note

Double check your work. If you plug the cables into the incorrect pins, your

PC may not start or otherwise function improperly.

Connect the white end of the Power Up patch cable to the TV tuner card and

the black end to the mainboard.

Power Up Scheduling is not required for using VideoMate E500F/E500F

PCI-E card. If you don’t want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows

Shut down state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections, in other

words, you can skip Power Up Connections in steps 3 through 6. You can still

use scheduled recording from Standby mode or powered on state.

7. Insert VideoMate Vista E500F PCIe card in an open PCIe slot.

This completes the hardware installation. Please read the following notes and

proceed to install the software.

Note

For best performance, the VideoMate Vista E500F PCIe card should not share

its IRQ. For more information, please see the Troubleshooting section.

If the computer cannot be turned on, verify the position of the power patch

cable on the mainboard. Consult the mainboard documentation to determine

the position of the ATX power switch connector.

Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the scheduled

recording time, for example, if you have set ComproDTV 4 to record a program

at 4 o’clock, it will start your computer at 3:55. Therefore, you need to shut

down the computer before 3:54 in order to let Power Up start the computer.

Power Up from Windows Shutdown mode, i.e., ACPI S5

state, requires:

zAn ATX power supply in your PC.

zMotherboard support for PCI Express x1 in order to

have 3.3V standby power.

zATX powers switch cable, which is a pair of twisted

wires with a two-wire connector, as shown to the

right.

If you don't have the above items, you can still use Power-Up Scheduling with

Windows Stand by mode, i.e., ACPI S3 state, if your system supports it.

You can use VideoMate Vista E500F PCIe card without using Power Up

Scheduling. If you don’t want to use Power Up Scheduling from the Windows

Shut down state, you can skip the power switch circuit connections.

The ATX power switch cable is not polarized. You can plug it in either direction.

Software Installation

After installing the PCIe card and cables in your computer, you should restart it

and follow these steps to install the software.

Step 1. After restarting, Windows will detect your VideoMate Vista E500F

PCIe card and start the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard, prompting

you to install the VideoMate Vista E500F PCIe card drivers. Please

Step 2. Insert the installation CD into your CD drive. If you have Autorun
