Warning!
PCI Express cards can be severely damaged by static electricity. Make sure that you’re
properly grounded before you open your computer case or touch your PCI Express
card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when you install any
computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, discharge any built-up static

6. Gently insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the
back of the case.
Note: If you install the card into a small form factor or a low-prole desktop system,
