Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com ATA/133 IDE controller card. This product is

perfect for adding additional hard drives and other IDE/ATAPI compliant devices to a

• Compliant with PCI Specification rev. 2.2, PCI ATA Controller Specification rev 1.0

• Supports up to four DMA/ATA devices

• 256 Bytes buffer

Before You Begin

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.

System Requirements

• A Pentium-based computer with an available PCI slot

• Windows (98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP) Linux

Contents

This package should contain:

• 1 x PCI ATA/133 IDE PCI Controller Card

This section will guide you through the installation of your card. Please read through the

instructions carefully and complete each step in the order listed.

If you are using Windows 98, 98SE, or ME, please follow the software installation

instructions on the next page before installing the card. Other users can install the card

now before completing the software installation.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Retain the screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Install the devices you wish to use with the card into the case following the

instructions provided in their documentation.

7. Use the 80-wire IDE cable (provided) to attach the devices you are using to the

controller. Be sure to observe master/slave settings, and that the red stripe on the

cable faces pin 1 on the connectors for both the card and the device. If you are

attaching more than two devices to the controller, you will need to purchase an

additional IDE cable.

NOTE:The primary master device on the card must be a hard disk.

6. Put the computer case back on.
