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 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. 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 low profile desktop system, replacing theprein stalled standard
profile bracket with the included low profile (half height) installation bracket may be necessary.
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.
7. Connect a standard telephone cable (included) from the “Line” port on the card to the telephone
outlet on the wall. If you wish to also have a telephone connected to this outlet, connect the
telephone to the “Phone” port on the card.
