Installation

Install the PCI Express card

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 electricity by touching a large grounded metal surface (for example, the computer case) for several seconds. Only handle the PCI Express card by its edges and don't touch the gold connectors.

1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals that are connected to your computer (for example, printers, external hard drives, and so on).
2. Unplug the power cable from the back of your computer.
3. Disconnect any peripheral devices that are connected to your computer.
4. Remove the cover from your computer case. Consult the documentation that came with your computer for details about how to do this safely.
