Installation
WARNING! PCI 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 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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,
external hard drives, etc.).
2. Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the
computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer case. Refer to documentation for your
computer system for details.
4. Locate an open PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the
computer case.
5. If installing into a low prole system, remove the full prole bracket from the card, by
releasing the two screws and installing the included low prole bracket in it’s place.
6. Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and fasten the card’s bracket to the
rear of the case.
7. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
8. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other
connectors removed in Step 2.
