Hardware Installation
To connect the ST1000SPEX to the computer motherboard:
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 power outlet.
2. 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.
3. Locate an empty PCI Express (x1) slot, removing the metal bracket
covering the corresponding port/socket located at the back of the com-
puter case. Please note: This card will function correctly in extended
PCIe slots (e.g. x4, x16) if available.
4. Position the card above the open PCI Express slot, ensuring that the
card is aligned with the entire 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 (please consult documentation
2
that accompanied the purchase of your computer).
5. Replace the computer cover.
6. If unplugged, plug computer and all peripherals back in to power
source. Turn your computer on.

How to Congure 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Structure
Connect to your 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet connection over un-
shielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The ST1000SPEX will automatically
operate on either speed without manual reconfiguration.
Troubleshooting
The computer is not detecting the ST1000SPEX.
1. Make sure that the ST1000SPEX is correctly inserted into the PCI
Express slot; if not, turn off the computer and plug it again.
2. If the ST1000SPEX is plugged in correctly, see if the golden connec-
tors on the card are clean; if not, clean the connector surface.
3. If the ST1000SPEX is still not recognized, please change to another
PCI Express slot on your motherboard.
4. Please upgrade your motherboard BIOS to the latest version.
5. The card itself might be defective. You can try testing the
4
ST1000SPEX on another motherboard.
Computer failed to start after inserting Gigabit Ethernet PCI
Express Card.
Turn off the computer, remove the ST1000SPEX, and try to restart the
computer. If the computer starts successfully, it means that this card
has not been inserted into the PCI Express slot correctly. Please insert
the card firmly into the PCI Express slot or try another slot.
How to deal with an exclamation point icon on the Ethernet Host
controller.
1. Please shutdown your computer and move the card to another avail-
able slot, then re-install the ST1000SPEX drivers again.
2. This icon usually means that there is a resource conflict between
the ST1000SPEX and another card in your system. Please move the
card to another available slot and restart your computer. Windows will
then re-configure itself and re-assign resources. Check your device
manager again. If the exclamation point is still there, repeat the process
until it no longer appears.
The card is not operating at Gigabit Ethernet transfer speeds.
1. Please affirm your Ethernet environment supports Gigabit structure.
2. Please use CAT6 UTP/STP cable.
