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
1. When the Found New Hardware wizard appears on the screen,
insert the Driver CD into your CD/DVD drive. If you are prompted
to connect to Windows Update, please select the “No, not this time”
option and click Next.
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.
