To ensure a quick and easy card installation, please read through this section carefully
before attempting to install your card.
System Requirements
• An IBM or compatible computer running Windows XP/2000/Me/98/95 (OSR2) or

WARNING!
PCI 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 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 card
by its edges and not the gold connectors.
