Installation
Please note: If you are performing a new operating system installation and wish to boot from
one of the drives being connected to PEXSATA22I, please copy the following les from the
included Driver CD to a blank oppy disk that can be used during OS installation:
jgogo.sys
jraid.cat
Jraid.sys
jraid_f.inf
txtsetup.oem
For further instruction on how to install the card and necessary drivers for use with a fresh (boot)
OS drive, please skip to the section entitled Windows Vista™ Fresh Installation or Windows
2000/XP/2003 Server Fresh Installation as applicable. Otherwise, if you will be installing
PEXSATA22I to connect a secondary (non-boot) drive, proceed as follows:
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. For
more detailed instruction on how to perform this step, please refer to the documentation
that was included with your computer at the time of purchase.
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 rmly into the slot, distributing force evenly across the length
of the board.
Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining socket (previously covered by metal
bracket, on the rear panel of the computer chassis), using the correct size screw (if
necessary, please consult documentation that accompanied purchase of computer).
5. Connect the desired SATA drives.
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 connectors.
