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 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. 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.
2. Locate an empty PCI slot and remove the metal bracket covering the accompanying
empty port/socket.
3. Position the card above the open PCI slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned
with the 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.
4. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer.
