Installation

Hardware 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 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 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 x4 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. x8 or x16

slots).

4. 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 low prole desktop system, replacing the

preinstalled standard prole bracket with the included low prole (half height)

installation bracket may be necessary.

5. Connect either an LP4 or a SATA power connection from your system power supply

to the 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.
