Installation

Installing the PCI Express expansion card

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 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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

1. Turn OFF the computer power before installation.

2. Remove the chassis cover from your computer.

3. Locate an unused PCI Express slot and remove the corresponding slot cover from

rear panel of the computer chassis. Retain the screw (if applicable) used to hold the

slot cover in place.

4. Align the PCI Express card with the unused PCI Express expansion slot. Applying

pressure evenly across the top edge of the expansion card, rmly but gently insert

the card into the slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned with the rear panel

slot.

5. Secure the card to the motherboard and rear chassis, using the screw removed in

step 3

6. With the drives secured within the computer case, use the IDE cable provided to

connect the Master and Slave devices to the PEX2IDE IDE connector. Please note the

orientation of the IDE cable, as illustrated below.

7. Replace the chassis cover (removed in step 2).

8. Power on the computer and observe the BIOS messages that appear on the monitor.

The BIOS will list all Parallel ATA devices attached to the PATA PCI Express Host

Adapter. For example:

(Copyright Messages)

HDD0: Maxtor 6L080P0 81 GB

Press any key to continue...

If the information displayed on your monitor is correct (all installed devices are listed

with the correct device name, etc.), the PATA PCI Express Host Adapter has successfully

been installed in your computer.

Software Installation

Because PEX2IDE supports native IDE mode, driver installation is not required.

Windows operating systems will detect the card and install the necessary driver

automatically.

Changing the Boot Sequence

Changes to the boot sequence of the devices installed in the host computer must be

made through the host computer motherboard BIOS setup utility.

1. Launch the motherboard BIOS setup utility. Normally, this can be done by pressing

the DEL (DELETE) key while the BIOS is checking all hardware congurations

2. Select Advanced BIOS Features

BLACK

To Master

GREY

To Slave

BLUE

To PEX2IDE

Instruction Manual

3. Change the Hard Disk Boot Priority / First Boot Device to enable the system to boot

from the designated drive.

4. Save and exit the BIOS.

Please note that due to variations in BIOS designs, the above instructions may dier

from your system BIOS. For further instruction on how to complete this step, please

consult the documentation that accompanied your motherboard or computer system

purchase.
