3DP-Vert SideWinder 3D Pro/USB Converter User Guide
Though there is no necessary order for connecting the PV to your PC, it is recommended to proceed as follows: Connect the Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro to the PV’s DSUB-15 connector. Connect the B end of a USB A-B cable to the PV’s USB connector.
If you have not mounted your PV, place the PV in a spot on your desk where the other end of the USB cable will reach a USB port of your PC. Make sure there is no metal under the converter or even close to it! Ensure the 3D Pro is in the neutral position (don’t touch it.) Connect the A end of the USB A-B cable to a USB port on your PC.
For operation you will need 1) the PV, 2) a 3D Pro joystick and 3) a USB A-B Cable. When handling the unprotected PV, use caution to prevent electrostatic damage. If operated without protection, the PV should NOT EVER come in direct contact with metal while connected to a PC to prevent damage to the PV and/or your PC. Guard against liquids spilling on the PV. Keep your pets and your paws away from the PV, and don’t even look at it when it’s powered up.
For proper installation, you have two mounting options:
The Port Mount – installation inside the PC
If simplicity is your goal, this is the installation method that is right for you. Using a slot bracket for a game port you will install the PV inside your PC.
The Box Mount – installation as an external device
If you are not set up with a PC that offers a free slot, have a laptop, or want to use the converter on multiple PCs, the PV can be mounted in an inexpensive box which helps protect the converter.
