Hardware Installation
Warning: PCIe Cards can be damaged by static electricity. Make sure that the
Installer is properly grounded before they open the Computer Case or touch the
SATA Controller Card. The Installer should wear an Anti-Static Strap when
installing any computer component. If an Anti-Static Strap is not available, discharge
any built-up static electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several
seconds. Only handle the SATA Controller Card by its edges and do not touch the
gold connectors.
Installing the Low-Profile Bracket
By default the Full-Profile Bracket is attached to the SATA Controller Card.
Depending on the system configuration it may be necessary to remove the Full-
Profile Bracket to replace with the Low-Profile Bracket (included).
1. Remove the 2x Phillips Head Screws securing the Full-Profile Bracket, using a
Phillips Head Screwdriver.
2. Remove the Full-Profile Bracket and replace with the Low-Profile Bracket
(included).
3. Install the 2x Phillips Head Screws removed in step 1 and tighten, using a Phillips
Head Screwdriver.
Installing the Card
1. Turn off the Computer and any Peripheral Devices that are connected
(e.g. printers, external hard drives, etc.).
2. Unplug the Power Cable from the rear of the Computer and disconnect any
Peripheral Devices that are connected.
3. Remove the Cover from the Computer Case.
Note: Consult the documentation that came with the Computer for details about
how to do this safely.
4. Locate an open PCIe Slot (x4/8/16) and remove the corresponding Metal Cover
Plate from the rear of the Computer Case. In most instances, the Metal Cover Plate
is attached to the rear of the Computer Case with a single Phillips Head Screw.
Save this Phillips Head Screw for the next step.
5. Gently insert the SATA Controller Card into the open PCIe Slot (x4/8/16) and fasten
the Bracket to the rear of the Computer Case, using the Phillips Head Screw from
step 4.
