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 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.

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: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. 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 desktop system,

replacing the pre-installed standard-prole bracket with the included low-prole

(half-height) installation bracket may be necessary.

5. Connect SATA cables from the SATA Ports on the card to the SATA Hard Drives inside

your computer as desired.

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.
