Installation

WARNING! Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini PCI Express card by its edges
and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

1. Line up and insert the Mini PCI Express card (Mini Card) into the Mini
PCI Express slot on the system board. Make sure to match up the gap in
the card edge connector, with the notch in the slot.
2. Securely fasten the card to the motherboard.
NOTE: Different systems may have different methods for installing Mini
Cards, so please refer to documentation for your system/board for more
specific installation instructions for your particular application.
3. Connect the LP4 power connector from the Mini Card to an LP4
connector from the system power supply.
4. Locate an open expansion card slot (i.e. PCI, PCI Express, etc) and
remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the system case/chassis.
