PCIe USB 3.0 Card Installation (SAT3510U3VP/SAT3510U3PGB only)
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 PCI Express 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 PCI Express 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.
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. 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, per your computer’s documentation.
5. Connect an LP4 molex power connector from the computer’s power
supply to the LP4 connector on the card.
6. Place the cover back onto the computer.
7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply.
