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.

Hardware Installation

1. Turn your computer o 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.

2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer system

for details.

3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate 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 (ie. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of the case.

5. Connect an SP4 power connector from the computer power supply to the SP4 connector on

the adapter card.

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.
