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 (ie. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power
cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the computer.
2. Remove the cover from the computer case. Refer to documentation
for your computer system.
3. Locate an open PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the metal cover plate
on the rear of the computer case.
4. Insert the card into the open PCI or PCI-X slot and fasten the
bracket to the rear of the case. Refer to documentation for your
computer system.
5. Place the cover back onto the computer.
6. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and
reconnect all previously disconnected peripherals.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/7
No driver installation is required for these operating systems, as this
USB 2.0 adapter card is natively supported, so the drivers are already
installed.
