Installation

mSATA SSD Installation

WARNING!

SSD Drives and storage adapters require careful handling. If you are not careful

with your SSD Drive, lost data may result. Always handle your drive with caution. Be

sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling

computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by

touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several

seconds.

1. Slide the mSATA connector on your SSD into the mSATA reciprocal connector on the

PEXMSATA343

2. Gently press the drive down toward the metal mounting bracket clip, until the drive

clicks into place. The SSD has now been installed.

Note: To remove your SSD pull upward on the metal tabs located near the top of the

drive, then slide the drive out.

Hardware 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 o 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 x2 slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of

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

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

Instruction Manual

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

rear of the case.

NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the

pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may

be necessary.

5. Connect SATA cables from the ports on the card to the SATA devices inside the

computer.

6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other

connectors removed in Step 1.

Driver Installation

Windows

Note: The card may auto-install using native drivers, however it is recommended to

use the procedure below to update to the latest driver version.

1. Upon starting Windows, if the Found New Hardware dialog appears on the screen,

cancel/close the window and insert the included Driver CD into the computer’s

CD/DVD drive.

2. If AutoPlay is enabled, select the “Open folder to view les” option when the

dialog appears.

3. Run the “drvSetup_V1057.exe” application located in the “SATA6G_M9128” folder

to start the installation process.

Instruction Manual

4. If AutoPlay is disabled, browse to your CD/DVD drive and open the“drvSetup_

V1057.exe”application located in the “SATA6G_M9128” folder to start the installation

process.

5. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the software installation.

Note: You may be prompted to restart your system.

Management Utility Installation

RAID and/or HyperDuo conguration can be accomplished either through the

integrated card-BIOS utility, or through the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU). Details for

installing the MSU are below.

To install the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) in Windows:

1. Run the “MSUSetup.exe” application located in the “SATA6G_M9128\GUI” folder and

follow the on-screen instructions. Select “Next” and accept the license agreement

when prompted – the default installation options are recommended.

2. After installing the Apache2 HTTP Server (which is a built-in component of the

installation package), the installation may trigger a Windows Security Alert on some

versions of Windows, please allow access.

Instruction Manual

3. Before opening the MSU, verify that Active Scripting or JavaScript is enabled in

the browser.

a. Internet Explorer

i. From the menu bar, select Tools > Internet Options.

ii. Select the “Security” tab, then “Local Intranet”, then “Custom level”.

iii. In the list of settings, scroll down to Scripting > Active scripting.

Instruction Manual

Verifying Installation

Windows

1. From the main desktop or start menu, right-click on “Computer” (“My Computer” in

XP), then select “Manage.”

2. In the new Computer Management window, select Device Manager from the left

window panel.

Instruction Manual

3. Under the “Storage Controllers”category (“SCSI and RAID Controllers”in XP) should

be a “Marvell 92xx” device. Right-click on the device and select “Properties” to make

sure it is installed and working correctly.

Note: After a successful installation, some users may notice a yellow icon next to

“Marvell Console ATA Device” under the “Other Devices” category within the Device

Manager. Device performance and operation is not aected by this notication. If you

wish to remove this to icon, run the“drv Setup _V 1017.exe”application located in the

“SATA6G_M9128” folder.

Hard Drive Initialization

If the mSATA SSD or SATA HDD is new or otherwise blank, it may need to be initialized

and formatted before use. Follow the steps below in a Windows interface to initialize

the drive.

1. From the main desktop or start menu, right-click on “Computer” (“My Computer” in

XP), then select “Manage.”

2. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk Management from the left

window panel.

3. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or“GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older

operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.

4. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Simple Volume”(“New Partition”

in XP).

Instruction Manual

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to initialize the drive in the format of your choice.

Port Multiplier

Port Multiplier (PM) allows for multiple SATA drives (up to 4) to be connected to a

single SATA host port. PM allows for easy, cost-eective storage scalability both inside

and outside the PC or server. It is commonly used to connect a multi-drive SATA/eSATA

hard drive enclosure/backplane using a single cable. This greatly expands the storage

capabilities of the SATA controller beyond its normal port count. Please visit StarTech.

com for more SATA controllers that support the Port Multiplier feature.

Note: Only the three SATA ports can use the Port Multiplier feature. Only one of these

SATA ports can use the Port Multiplier feature at a time. The card supports up to 4

drives connected via Port Multiplier, and 7 drives total (including a mSATA SSD).

Mac OS does not support Port Multiplier.
