Installation
WARNING! PCI 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 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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers, external hard drives, etc.).
2. Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer case. Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.
4. Locate an open PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the computer case.
5. If installing into a low profile system, remove the full profile bracket from the card, by releasing the two screws and installing the included low profile bracket in it’s place.
6. Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and fasten the card’s bracket to the rear of the case.
7. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
8. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 2.

Driver Installation
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003

2. Select the option “Install Drivers Automatically (Recommended)” and then click the Next button.
3. Windows should now start searching for the drivers. Once this has completed, click the Finish button.
Windows Vista/Server 2008 R2/7
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this adapter card is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
