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 PCI Express card. StarTech.com recom-
mends 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 touch-
ing 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 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.x4, 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.
