Instruction Manual

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 connectors.

1. Power on the host computer, and wait for the operating system to fully boot. Once it

does, the added card will be detected and you will be prompted to provide the

necessary drivers.

2. Insert the Driver CD that was included with PEX4S950 into the CD/DVD-ROM drive.

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.

3. 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. 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.

necessary components. Please do so. Once complete, a message balloon will

appear in the taskbar (normally the bottom right corner of the screen), indicating that

installation is complete:
