No worries just ensure that you motherboard has the correct port PCI-e x1 (desktops only, diagram here: http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/images/ct-images/2013/04/mb.jpg), then you simply slot the card into the port, it comes with a couple of SATA data connection cables so you only need to make sure your PSU has sata power connectors available depending on the number of drives you wish to connect (they look like this: http://sharpsblogorama.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sata-hard-drive-power-cable-connector.jpg) . Hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any further queries or are stuck.

Well there are multiple way to connect this to your computer. The best and probably the easiest way is to use a HDMI cable. But you can also use a DVI or VGA connection.

It needs to be hooked up to a computer to get set up. It doesn't need the computer to function. It is complicated to set up. I had my IT friend do it and it took him a few hours.

It should work just fine! If needed, your computer should download any needed drivers. If you aren't getting any signal, be sure that the input/output is plugged in correctly. "Out" plugs into "in" and vice versa...sorta counter-intuitive. Hope this helps!

You would have to buy an external one and plug it into one of the USB ports. Thanks, Computer World

Mine didn't even come with the USB to connect it to the computer. DO NOT BUY THIS. There was no way to get help or support for it.

I didn't. I just plugged and it worked. I think this is the way newer operating systems work. I remember older OS you had to download the latest drivers to get it to work.

If you want it to be directly connected to a computer, you would need to use a Crossover Ethernet Cable. Otherwise, you would need to use a regular Ethernet Cable through a Network or a Router.

Oh Gee...I am not a technology literate person. I know that all the cables hooked up just as they did on the old DVD party. If you need other connections, then no, there are no other hookups. Sorry I'm not more up on this stuff. Like I said before - it's really easy/simple! :)

Do you have to have a audio input plug to use this unit. Is there a way to connect via USB. Reason, I don't think my computer has a audio input slot, at least none that I can find on the back.

I do not believe you can attach a computer to it. I cannot think of a connection port.

Weird. Should have had a cord. You might be able to use an existing one. The connection is pretty standard.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Sabina, this will not work for you. You will need to get a cross cable for a computer to computer connection. Or you will need to get a switch and use 2 of these cables.

I understand now. However I can not help you with a connection to a computer. I use mine only as a TV, connected to my U-verse Gateway, Apple TV, DVD player and Polk stereo system. Has worked great for me for the past several years. No experience connecting to a computer. Why would you? Great TV set but can not understand why you would want it as another monitor... Sorry!

use the USB cable that comes with it. plug it in using the micro usb and the other end into your computer or an AC adapter.

Use the USB cord and connect it to computer or laptop. Also you an outlet that supports a USB cord.
