Installation

WARNING! Computer parts can be severely damaged by static electricity.

Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer

case. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when

installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable,

discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large

grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

Hardware Installation

1. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer

(i.e. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the

rear of the power supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all

peripheral devices.

2. Remove the cover from the computer case. Refer to documentation for

your computer system for details.

3. Locate an open expansion card slot on the rear of the computer case

and remove the metal cover plate.

4. Place the adapter’s expansion card bracket into the opening and fasten

the bracket to the rear of the case.

5. Locate a 9-pin USB header connector on the motherboard and

plug in the IDC connector on the cable. The IDC connector is keyed

to help prevent incorrect installation. See system or motherboard

documentation for details.

6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and

reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.
