Hardware Installation
Warning: PCIe Cards
can be damaged by static electricity. Make sure that the
Installer
is properly grounded before they open the
Computer Case
or touch the
PCIe
Card
. The
Installer
should wear an
Anti-Static Strap
when installing any computer
component. If an
Anti-Static Strap
is not available, discharge any built-up static
electricity by touching a large
Grounded Metal Surface
for several seconds. Only
handle the
PCIe Card
by its edges and do not touch the gold connectors.
Jumper Configuration
Note:
This
PCIe Card
is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth
pin of the
Serial Port
for
Serial Devices
that support power over serial.
Jumper
configuration is a requirement when connecting
Serial Devices
that require power
through the
Serial Port
.
The
Jumper
can be moved into one of three different positions in order to set the
power output voltage for the
Serial Port
. The default setting for the
Jumpers
is
RI
, no
power. The
SATA Power Connector
must be connected after configuring the
Jumper
to
5V
or
12V
of power. To configure the
Jumper
, complete the following:
1. Ensure the
Computer
Power
is
Off.
2. Locate
and
carefully remove the
Jumper
. Lift the
Jumper
straight up and off of the
PCIe Card
.
Notes:
The
Jumper
is located on the left-hand side, labeled as
Serial 1
on the
Printed Circuit Board
.
Always
hold the
Card
by the edges.
3. Determine the power setting that is required for the
Serial Port
.
4. Position the
Jumper
over the set of
Pins
that correspond with the desired
Serial
Connector Power Setting
. See
Figure 1
to determine where the
Jumper
should be
positioned.
