Installation
WARNING! Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini PCI Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Installation
1. Line up and insert the Mini PCI Express card into the Mini PCI Express slot on the system board. Make sure to match up the gap in the card edge connector, with the notch in the slot.
2. Securely fasten the card to the motherboard using the included screws.
NOTE: Dierent systems may have dierent methods for installing Mini Cards, so please refer to documentation for your system/board for more specic installation instructions for your particular application.
3. Attach the USB head cable to the Mini PCI Express card.
4. Locate an open expansion card bay (i.e. PCI, PCI Express, etc) and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the system case/chassis.
5. If additional power is required, you can either connect an SP4 cable from the system power supply directly to the card, or connect the included SP4 to LP4 adapter cable to the Mini Card, and then to an LP4 connector from the system power supply. Please ensure the power selection jumper has been placed over pins 1,2 as indicated in the chart above.
6. Place the expansion card bracket from the Mini Card in the opening and fasten the card’s bracket to the rear of the case.
NOTE: If the system case/chassis only supports full prole brackets, replacing the pre-installed low prole bracket with the included full prole installation bracket may be necessary.
Driver Installation
1. Upon starting Windows, if the “Found New Hardware” wizard appears on the screen, cancel/close the window or choose not to install the drivers and insert the included Driver CD into the computer’s CD/DVD drive.
2. AutoPlay should automatically launch and display all of the folders on the CD. If not, open the “Computer” (“My Computer” in Windows XP/Server 2003) and double-click on the CD/DVD drive.
3. Enter the folder “USB 3.0 Host”, then “NEC” and double-click the le “Setup.exe”.
4. This should launch the driver Installation wizard. Continue through the wizard and once complete, all the necessary drivers will be installed.
