Hardware Installation
Warning: PCIe Cards can be damaged by static electricity. Make sure that the
Installer is properly grounded before they open the Computer Case or touch the PCIe
Card. The Installer should wear an Anti-Static Strap when installing any computer
component. If an Anti-Static Strap is not available, discharge any built-up static
electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. Only
handle the PCIe Card by its edges and do not touch the gold connectors.
Jumper Conguration
Note: This PCIe Card is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth
pin of the Serial Port for Serial Devices that support power over serial. Jumper
conguration is a requirement when connecting Serial Devices that require power
through the Serial Port.
The Jumper can be moved into one of three dierent positions in order to set the
power output voltage for the Serial Port. The default setting for the Jumpers is RI, no
power. The SATA Power Connector must be connected after conguring the Jumper
to 5V or 12V of power. To congure the Jumper, complete the following:
1. Ensure the Computer Power is O.
2. Locate and carefully remove the Jumper. Lift the Jumper straight up and o of the
PCIe Card.
Notes: The Jumper is located on the left-hand side, labeled as Serial 1 on the
Printed Circuit Board.
Always hold the Card by the edges.
3. Determine the power setting that is required for the Serial Port.
4. Position the Jumper over the set of Pins that correspond with the desired Serial
Connector Power Setting. See Figure 1 to determine where the Jumper should be
positioned.
