Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the order listed.
Hardware Installation
WARNING: Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or
touching any components. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap
when installing any computer equipment. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge
yourself of any static electricity buildup by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as
the computer case) for several seconds.
1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.
2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer’s user manual for details, if necessary)
and gently turn your computer onto its side, leaving the open side of the case exposed.
3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the blank slot cover from the
back of the computer.
4. Align the card horizontally with the slot and gently insert it into the empty slot, making sure
it is rmly seated.
5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3 (if applicable).
6. Put the computer cover back on.
7. Power on the computer normally
