Jackson Armor Card

Function

So, now you have the pci card installed and you are ready to reboot. What can you expect? Wait, before you install the card and reboot make sure you prepare your PC. Run your AV program along with whatever anti-spyware programs you have (Adaware, Spybot, etc.) and defrag your PC. Think about it, once this little gem is installed your system is going to remain that way for a long time. Do you really want to preserve an infected or inefficient system? OK, now that’s done let’s get on with it. Install the drivers from the included CD and then install the PCI card then reboot.

Once the PC has been restarted, you are greeted with the administration screen. If you have not yet installed the drivers, you would now select the last option “cancel” to proceed with the startup process and install the drivers:

After installing the drivers, reboot the PC again and wait for the admin screen once more. When the PC reboots, press the space bar to stop the menu so you can make changes. JB recommends, as do I, that you select “express installation” to protect your entire C: drive. To enter the configuration screen you need to press “ctrl + home”.

During install and reboot you might hear several beeps, alternating from high to low. This indicates there is a problem with the installation. Uninstall the drivers and then reinstall the card in another PCI slot. The card is compatible with “99% of all computer systems”; unfortunately I have one of the 1%. My main system would not recognize the card no matter what I tried. I uninstalled the card, drivers, other cards, other drivers. I removed every other PCI card I had installed. I did everything short of reformatting and it still didn’t work. My system specs are as follows:

• AMD64 3200+
• Mushkin PC3500 1GB
• WD 120GB x2
• MSI K8T Neo FIS2R motherboard
