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 off 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. Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.

3.Locate an open PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the computer case.

4.Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and fasten the card’s bracket to the rear of the case.

NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low profile system, replacing the pre-installed full profile bracket with the included low profile installation bracket may be necessary.

5.Place the cover back onto the computer case.

6.Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003

1.Upon starting Windows, if the “Found New Hardware” wizard appears on the screen, cancel/close the window and insert the included Driver CD into the computer’s CD/ DVD drive.

3.In the root directory of the CD (e.g. D:\ ), double-click the file “Setup.exe”.

4.This should launch the driver Installation wizard. Continue through the wizard and once complete, all the necessary drivers will be installed.
