Setting up your DMA card

Ensure all the steps above are done and you can proceed.
Make sure these settings are turned off on the main PC as well.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Power Off and Unplug the PC
Shut down your computer completely.
Unplug it from the power outlet.
Disconnect all peripherals (monitor, keyboard, etc.).
2. Open the PC Case
Use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the side panel (usually the left side).
Slide the panel off to access the internal components.
3. Locate an Available Expansion Slot
Look for an empty SLI or PCIe slot on the motherboard (based on your motherboard).
Remove the metal slot cover on the back of the case for that slot.
4. Insert the DMA Card
Align the card’s connector with the slot.
Firmly but gently push the card down into the slot until it's fully seated.
Secure the card with a screw at the back bracket if necessary.
5. Close the Case
Replace the side panel and screw it back in place.
6. Reconnect and Boot Up
Plug in the power cable and peripherals.
Turn on your PC.
If you're confused about any install steps refer to the video below.
Once the DMA card is installed
Plug one end of the provided USB-C cable into the DATA port on the DMA card.
Plug the other end into the second PC.
Run the Speed Test
Once it’s open, press 1
on your keyboard.
This will start the speed test and begin communicating with the DMA card, as shown in the image below.
In most cases, flipping the cable 180 degrees in the data port resolves about 90% of connection issues. If that doesn't work, make sure the cable is fully inserted into the port until you hear the Windows connection sound—this typically fixes the remaining 10% of problems.
This could be one of two things: either your second PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements to support the DMA card, or the card isn't seated properly in the PCIe slot. Try switching it to a different PCIe slot if available—some slots provide better compatibility or bandwidth, depending on your motherboard.
