Installation
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
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 the preinstalled 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.
Software Installation
Once the PCI Express card has been installed, it is safe to power up
the computer. The operating system will detect the presence of the
card and automatically install the necessary drivers.
Verifying Installation
1. Open the Device Manager by right-clicking on Computer, and
then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window,
select Device Manager from the left window panel (For Windows
8, open the Control Panel and select Device Manager).
2. Expand the “IEEE 1394 host controllers” section. On a successful
install, you should see the following device in the list with no
exclamation points or question marks.
