Installation

WARNING! PCI 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 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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

1. Power down the computer. As an additional precaution, you may wish to disconnect the

computer from the power source.

2. Remove the computer cover. For more detailed instruction on how to perform this step,

please refer to the documentation that was included with your computer at the time of

purchase.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot and remove the metal bracket covering the accompanying empty

port/socket.

4. If you need to change the bracket to t your case requirements, please remove the two

screws fastening the bracket to the circuit board using a Philips (cross-head) screwdriver, then

replace with the secondary bracket (included).

5. Position the card above the open PCI slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned with

the slot. Insert the card rmly into the slot, distributing force evenly across the length of the

board. Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining socket (previously covered by metal

bracket), using the correct size screw.

6. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer (if it was removed in

Step #1).
