touching your 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.

System Requirements

•Windows 98SE (or higher) with a Pentium-class (or compatible) processor, or Mac OS

X with a Power PC (or above).

•An open USB port

•ACD drive

Contents

This package should contain:

Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your multi panel and the related

software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the

order listed.
