Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the SATA II
ExpressCard from Belkin. This ExpressCard offers notebook
users a fast and convenient way to add Serial ATA ports that
can take advantage of the increased bandwidth and features
the new ExpressCard I/O interconnection standard delivers.
Why ExpressCard?
ExpressCard, the standard destined to replace CardBus,
quadruples your computing bandwidth. This results in
faster music downloads, smoother streaming video, and
lightning-fast access to mass-storage devices.
The ExpressCard provides the perfect solution for
simultaneously streaming movies and downloading video
from your camcorder to your hard drive—without risking
that your computer will freeze, crash, or slow to a trickle.
ExpressCard future-proofs your computer with technology
so advanced that it exceeds the processing speed of many
devices currently on the market. This means that installing
the ExpressCard now assures you of device-upgrade
expansion room for many years to come.
Please carefully review this User Manual so that you can
take full advantage of all the capabilities the Belkin SATA II
ExpressCard offers.

The ExpressCard and devices connected to the
computer do not work properly.
Please do the following:
1.
Check that all the cables you are using are the correct
types, and that they are all securely connected.
2.
Make sure all devices are powered on and connected to
the proper power supply and source.
3.
Reconnect daisy-chained devices you may have
disconnected for installation. If reconnecting does not
clear up the problem, restart your computer.
4.
Make sure you have properly installed the ExpressCard.
The computer did not detect the ExpressCard.
1.
Make sure that the ExpressCard is correctly plugged into
the ExpressCard 54mm slot; if not, plug it in securely.
2.
If the ExpressCard is plugged in correctly, see if its gold
connectors are clean; if not, clean the connector surface.
3.
Follow the procedure on page 5 titled “Verifying Proper
Installation”. If the ExpressCard designation “Silicon
Image Sil 3132 SATALink Controller” does not appear in
the Device Manager, update your computer BIOS to the
latest version (contact your computer manufacturer for
details). If after updating your BIOS, your computer still
does not detect the ExpressCard, contact your computer
manufacturer for advanced support for BIOS.
