1. Remove the computer cover. 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.

2. Locate an empty PCI Express slot, removing the metal bracket covering the

accompanying empty port/socket.

aligned with the slot. Insert the card firmly 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), using the correct size screw.

4. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer.

1. Upon rebooting the computer for the first time following the installation of the card,

Windows will detect the PCI Express card and prompt for driver installation, with the

Found New Hardware Wizard. Please select Search for the best driver for my

devices (Recommend) and click Next.

2. Insert the Drivers CD into your CDROM/DVDROM drive, and select Install from a

list or specific location (Advanced), enter d:\ in the text box provided, and click

Next.

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.
