If the information displayed on your monitor is correct (all installed devices are listed with the correct device name, etc.), the PATA PCI Express Host Adapter has successfully been installed in your computer.
Software Installation
Because PEX2IDE supports native IDE mode, driver installation is not required. Windows operating systems will detect the card and install the necessary driver automatically.

1.Launch the motherboard BIOS setup utility. Normally, this can be done by pressing the DEL (DELETE) key while the BIOS is checking all hardware configurations
