Installation
I f you do not have the expertise required to carry out the installation, please
contact a specialist or a specialised shop and let them carry out the instal-
lation!
I ncorrect installation can cause damage to the product, your computer and
all connected devices.
Caution, lethal hazard!
S witch off the computer in which the product is to be installed as well as
all connected devices and disconnect all devices from the mains voltage,
remove the power plug from the mains supply! Switching off with the ON/
OFF button is not sufficient!
• Open the case of your computer and carefully remove the cover.
• The multi card reader can be inserted into a free 8.9cm/3.5" slot of your computer
case. With a suitable mounting frame, the multi card reader can also be inserted
into a large slot (13.335cm/5.25"); this type of frame can be acquired from the acces-
sories dealers.
With some computer casings you have to remove a metal shielding plate for the cor-
responding slot after removing the plastic cover, before the multi card reader can be
inserted and tightened in the computer casing.
• Connect the 10-pin plug (7) on the end of the cable with an internal USB connection
on your main board.
One of the 10 contacts of the plug is locked, preventing a wrong insertion of
the plug.
• The power connection (6) on the multi card reader is to be connected with the PC
mains adapter.
• Secure all cables, so that they cannot slip out of the ports and obstruct a fan in the
PC case. Use cable ties, for example, to secure them.
• Replace the computer case.
• Connect your computer and monitor to the mains voltage and switch on all devices.
• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all
settings and cable connections.
Before re-opening the computer, disconnect it again from the mains voltage,
please see above!
Driver installation
The drivers are already contained in Windows (minimum requirement Windows ME).
Windows automatically recognises the card reader and installs all the necessary driv-
ers. Windows automatically assigns additional drive letters.
The card reader needs to be switched on (blue LED lighting) for the compu-
ter/the operating system to recognise the card reader; please note the next
section.
Turning on/off the Card Reader, LED Functions
The card reader can be turned on/off with the switch (5).
• Switch position 1 (switch button is slightly further inside the case):
The card reader is activated, the blue LED is lighting. If a memory card is inserted,
an additional red LED lights up. The red LED lights up during read/write access to an
inserted memory card.
• Switch position 2 (switch button slightly further outside the case):
The card reader is de-activated, the blue LED goes out.
Connecting a USB device
A USB device (e.g. USB stick, USB hard drive, USB scanner, etc.) may be connected to
the front USB port (2). USB devices with higher power consumption may also be used
if operated via the computer mains adapter.
Reading/Writing to Memory Cards
A memory card is integrated into the system in the same way as a conventional remov-
able media drive.
For instance, with Windows file manager you can read the data on the memory card
(or store data on the memory card), in the same way as you use the hard disk or a USB
stick. The red LED flashes during read/write access to the memory card.
Removing Memory Card
When read/write access is effected to the memory card, wait until this access is fin-
ished (red LED stops flashing).
Then, carefully remove the memory card(s) from the card reader.
If the memory card is removed during a read/write access, the data on the
memory card can be damaged. The memory card may possibly even require
subsequent re-formatting.
Tips & Advice
• Ensure that the read-only access (slide switch on the memory card; if available) is in
the off position, when deleting from, or writing to, SD/MS memory cards.
• Preferably, use an internal USB2.0 port for connection of the card reader.
The maximum data signalling rate used by USB1.1 is only about 800kByte/s.
With USB2.0, several MByte/s are possible, depending on the speed of your memory
card! Thus, for faster transfer always use a USB2.0 port for the card reader (a tre-
mendous saving of time during data transfer).
