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.

Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers, external hard
