Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be

severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly

grounded before opening your computer case or touching your PCI

Express card. 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. Also be careful to handle the PCI Express card by

its edges and not the gold connectors.

on the rear of the computer case (Refer to documentation for your

computer system for details.). Note that this card will work in PCI

Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

OPTIONAL: if installing the card into a low proﬁle system, remove the

full height bracket on the card and replace with the included low proﬁle

bracket.

Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket4.

to the rear of the case.

OPTIONAL: if connecting external LED indicators to the card, connect

the 2x4-pin header on the card to the LEDs.

Place the cover back onto the computer case.5.

Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and6.

reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.

computer.

Once logged into Windows, the Hardware/Driver installation wizard2.

should appear. Insert the Driver Installation CD into the CD/DVD

drive when prompted.

Windows should automatically start to search the CD for the3.

appropriate drivers. This may take several minutes.

Once Windows has located the drivers and installed them, the card4.

should be ready for use.

Windows 7

No driver installation is required for Windows 7, as the controller card is

natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.

Verifying Installation

Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008 R2/7

From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer”

in Vista or later), then select “Manage”. In the new Computer

Management window, select Device Manager from the left window

Under the “SCSI and RAID Controllers” category (“Storage Controllers”

in Vista or later), should be a “Marvell 91xx” device. Right-click on the

device and select “Properties” to make sure it is installed and working

correctly.

For Windows 7, if using the native drivers, the card will instead be listed

under the “IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller” category as a “Standard AHCI”

device.
