Installation
Hardware Installation
1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.
2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer’s user manual for details, if necessary)
and gently turn your computer onto its side.
3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that covers the
rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. Retain the screw!
You will need it to secure the card later.
4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.
5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.
6. Install the devices you wish to use with the card into the case following the instructions
provided in their documentation.
7. Use the provided SATA cable to attach the internal devices you are using to the controller. Be
sure to also attach necessary power cords to all attached devices. For devices connected
to the external SATA port, a separate eSATA cable must be used.
8. Put the computer case back on.
