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.  
Hardware Installation  
1.Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers, external hard  
drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the computer  
and disconnect all peripheral devices.  
2.Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer system for  
details.  
3.Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the computer  
case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.). Note that this card will work in  
PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).  
4.Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of the case.  
5.Connect an LP4 molex power connector from the computer power supply to the LP4 connector  
on the card. An LP4 to SATA Power adapter cable in included, if only SATA Power connectors are  
available.  
NOTE: The LP4 power is optional, as the card can draw power from the PCI Express bus, however  
the amount of power is limited. It is recommended to have the LP4 power connected when possible,  
to ensure that all USB peripherals are able to receive the full amount of power available.  
6.If connecting an internal USB device or front panel port (single), connect the USB header cable to  
the header connector on the card, located just behind the top external USB port. The +5V pin is  
marked with a triangle (see photo on previous page).  
NOTE: This will disable the adjacent external port.  
7.Place the cover back onto the computer case.  
8.Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other connectors  
removed in Step 1.  
Driver Installation  
No driver installation is required for supported operating systems, as this USB 2.0 adapter card is  
natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
