Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be

severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are prop-

erly grounded before opening your computer case or touching card.

StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when

installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavail-

able, 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.

Hardware Installation

Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the1.

computer (ie. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power

cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the computer.

Remove the cover from the computer case.2.

Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate3.

on the rear of the computer case. Note that this card will work in PCI

Express slots of additional lanes (ie. x4, x8 or x16 slots)

Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and screw the bracket4.

to the rear of the case.

NOTE: If the computer case only accepts full proﬁle cards, then

remove the low proﬁle bracket on the card, by removing the screws

holding it to the card and replace with the supplied full sized bracket.

OPTIONAL:5. Plug in the SP4 ﬂoppy power connector from the

computer power supply to the card.

Place the cover back onto the computer.6.

Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply.7.
