remove the two Bracket Screws securing the Low Prole

Bracket to the Mini Adapter Card.

Installing the Mini Adapter Card

Warning! Mini Adapter 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 the Mini Adapter Card. StarTech.com recom-

mends 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 touch-

ing a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer

case) for several seconds. Handle the Mini Adapter Card by its

edges and not the gold connectors.

1. Turn o the Host Computer and disconnect any Peripheral

Devices that are connected (e.g. printer, external hard drives,

etc.).

2. Unplug the Power Cable from the back of the Host

Computer.

3. Remove the Cover from the Host Computer’s Case.

Note: Consult the documentation that came with the Host

Computer for details about how to remove the Cover safely.

4. Align the PCIe Connector Gap on the Mini Adapter Card

with the notch on the Mini PCI Express slot on the Host

Computer’s Mother Board.

5. Gently insert the Mini Adapter Card (mini card) into a Mini

PCI Express Slot on the Host Computer’s Mother Board.

6. Securely fasten the Mini Adapter Card to the Host

Computer’s Motherboard.

etc.) and remove the Metal Cover Plate on the rear of the

Host Computer’s Case/Chassis.

Card in the opening and fasten the card’s bracket to the rear

of the case.
