Introduction
The PEXSAT34RH 4 Port PCI Express SATA III Controller Card adds 4 AHCI SATA III ports
to a computer through a PCIe slot (x2), providing an internal 6Gbps connectivity
solution from a single card.
Compliant with SATA revision 3.0, our PCI Express SATA controller provides up to 6Gbps
of data bandwidth to utilize the speeds of high performance hard drives and solid
state drives (SSD), along with Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port which allows
for multiple SATA drives to be connected over a single cable.
Also, this PCI Express SATA RAID card includes an onboard heatsink to help keep the
card running cool, supports RAID 0, 1, and 1+0, and can handle up to 7 SATA drives
total when using Port Multiplier.
This PCIe SATA 6g card is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime
technical support.

Installation
Hardware 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.
1. Turn your computer o 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 x2 slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of
the computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details).
NOTE: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e.x4, x8, or x16 slots).
4. Gently insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the
rear of the case.
NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the
pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may
be necessary.
5. Connect SATA cables from the ports on the card to the SATA devices inside the
computer.
6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other
connectors removed in Step 1.

open the CD.
If AutoPlay does not start, go into “My Computer” and access the CD/DVD drive that
the CD is in.
3. Open the folder “SATA6G_M9128”. Run the le ‘drvSetup.exe’. Follow the onscreen
instructions to complete the driver installation.

Verifying Installation
Windows
From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7/8), then
select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Device Manager
from the left window panel.
Under the “SCSI and RAID Controllers” category (“Storage Controllers” in Vista or later),
should be a “Marvell 92xx” device. Right-click on the device and select “Properties” to
make sure it is installed and working correctly.
For Windows 7 and 8, if using the native drivers, the card will instead be listed under
the “IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller” category as a “Standard AHCI” device.
How to Use
RAID Conguration
To setup a RAID array using the drives connected to the SATA controller card, the
BIOS level conguration menu must be accessed. To access the conguration menu,
during POST (computer startup), the status display for the controller card will display.
When prompted, pressing [CTRL] + [m] will enter the conguration menu. From the
conguration menu, the detected drives can be congured into any of the supported
RAID modes by following the on screen prompts.
