Installation
Hardware Installation
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard
slot on any compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it
‘clicks’ and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the card
further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be
ejected from the slot.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not rmly hold an
ExpressCard/34 card, so a 34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be
necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).
OPTIONAL: This card has an external power connector located on
the side. External power may be required if the FireWire peripheral
draws more power than the ExpressCard slot on the system is able
to provide.

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008 R2/7/8,
Mac OS X, Linux
No driver installation is required for these operating systems,
as this adapter card is natively supported, so the drivers are
already installed.
