2.1 Installation of the card
Before installing the card, please read the manual of your computer regarding the installation
of additional hardware components.
The card should be handled with care to ensure that the unit is not damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD), mechanical stress or unauthorised power surges. Precautions should also be
taken to avoid electric shock. Follow standard ESD protection measures.
Note the following procedure:
• Pull out the mains plug of the PC system.
• Open the housing as described in the manual of your PC system.
• Make sure that no static discharge can take place via the card when it is inserted. At least
one hand should be earthed to discharge static charge.
• Only for PCI Express models: for the +5V supply of the card, an additional supply via the PC
power supply unit is required (current consumption without load typ. 300 mA). To do this,
connect a free power supply connector of your PC (as also used for supplying drives) to the
corresponding MOLEX connector on the PCIe card (see the following illustration). If requi-
red, adapters (cables), e.g. from 13-pin SATA power supply plug to 4-pin MOLEX socket, are
available from specialist dealers.
