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 PCI Express 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 

Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

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.  See documentation for your computer 

system for details.

3.  Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the 

computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.). Note 

that this card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4.  Gently insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the 

rear of the case.

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.

1.  When the Found New Hardware wizard appears on the screen, insert the Driver CD 

into your CD-ROM drive.  If you are prompted to connect to Windows Update, please 

select the “No, not this time” option and click Next.

2.  Select the option “Install Drivers Automatically (Recommended)” and then click the 

Next button.

3.  Windows should now start searching for the drivers.  Once this has completed, click 

the Finish button.
