Introduction

The PEXESAT322I PCI Express SATA III Controller Card (6 Gbps) gives you the option to

add 2 internal or external SATA ports to your computer, through a single PCI Express (x1)

card slot. The card features on board jumper selection, which enables you to congure

the card to provide 2 internal or external SATA III ports, or one of each, as needed.

The SATA III card features Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port, which allows

multiple drives to be connected over a single cable when necessary to maximize the

number of SATA device connections while reducing the amount of cabling required.

The card is fully compliant with the SATA revision 3.0 specication (up to 6Gbps of data

bandwidth), enabling you to utilize the speeds of high performance hard drives and Solid

State Drives (SSD), as well as SATA-based optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-Ray).

The PEXESAT322I SATA III Controller card is backed by our 2-year manufacturer

warranty and free lifetime technical support.

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.

Jumper Settings

Of the 4 physical ports located on the card, only two of the ports can be active at a

time. Selecting the ports you wish to activate is accomplished via the jumper blocks

located on the card. Ports SATA 1 and eSATA1 are grouped together, while ports SATA 2

and eSATA 2 are grouped together.

NOTE: By default the eSATA ports (1,2) are both active.

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 and disconnect all peripheral devices.

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 (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4. Gently insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the

rear of the case.

NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the

pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket

may be necessary.

5. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

6. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other

connectors removed in Step 1.

Driver Installation

Windows XP/Vista/Server 2003/ Server 2008 R2/ 7 / 8

1. Upon starting Windows, the card should be automatically detected and Windows

will install default drivers. Once this is complete, insert the included driver CD into

the computer’s optical drive.

2. AutoPlay should automatically launch and display all of the folders on the CD or

give you the option to view all les. If not, open “My Computer” and double-click on

the CD/DVD drive.

3. Enter the folder “PCIe”, then “ASM106x” and double-click the le “Setup.exe”.

4. This will launch the driver Installation wizard. Continue through the wizard and

once complete, all the necessary drivers will be installed.

5. Restart the computer.
