Installation

WARNING! 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 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 PCI Express card
by its edges and not the gold connectors.
1. Make sure that your system is unpowered and
unplugged and you are grounded.
2. Remove the cover of your system (refer to computer
system documentation, if necessary) so that the PCI
Express expansion slot openings on the motherboard
are accessible.
3. Align the PCI Express connector on the riser card
with an available PCI Express slot.
4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making
sure it is seated firmly. Fasten the card to the riser
card mounting bracket on the computer chassis (refer
to computer system documentation, if necessary).
5. Install the desired PCI Express card into the
PCIe slot on the riser card and fasten securely to
the computer chassis (refer to computer system
documentation, if necessary).
6. Replace and fasten the computer cover.
