Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI card and the related

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

order listed.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in colour) and remove the metal plate that

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Hang on to the screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Put the computer case back on.

Installing the Drivers

If you lose your driver disk, these drivers are available as a free download from our

website. Visit www.startech.com and click on the Downloads link for more information.

Windows 2003/XP/2000/ME/98SE

1. Insert your driver disk into the disk drive and browse to the location of your driver

disk.

2. Double-click on the setup.exe file. The program will now copy the appropriate

driver files onto your system. When it has finished this process, reboot your system.

3. Once your system reboots, Windows will detect the new hardware and install the

drivers.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X offers built-in support for USB 2.0. To ensure maximum performance from

your USB 2.0 card, make sure that your version of OS X is kept up to date with the latest

patches and upgrades.

Connecting Devices to Your USB 2.0 Card

When you install a USB device to one of your USB ports, Windows will automatically

detect it and you will be prompted to install the drivers for the device. If you ever plug

this device into a different port on your USB 2.0 card, you will be prompted to install the

drivers again. If possible, you should plug the device into each port on your USB card

and install the drivers for each port the first time your connect your peripheral. Later on,

with the drivers already installed for each port, you can unplug and move your USB 2.0

devices around your card without having to worry about finding your driver disk.
