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  
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 card by its edges and not the gold connec-  
tors.  
Please note that the ExpressCard slot of this product does NOT support  
hot-plugging. Installed ExpressCards will only be able to recognize the  
card upon system reboot.  
Installing the PCI Express Card  
1. Shut down all power connected to the computer, as well as all devices  
connected to the computer peripherally (i.e. Printers, Monitors,  
Scanners etc.). As an added step to ensure safe installation, unplug  
the power supply from the computer.  
2. Remove the computer cover, allowing  
access to the motherboard and  
available slots.  
3. Locate an empty PCI Express slot,  
removing the metal bracket covering the  
accompanying empty port/socket on the  
rear panel of the computer chassis.  
4. Position the card above the open PCI  
Express slot, ensuring that the card is  
properly aligned with the slot. Insert the  
card firmly into the slot, distributing force  
evenly across the length of the board.  
5. Once inserted, secure the card into the  
adjoining socket (previously covered by a  
metal bracket, on the rear panel of the
