Hardware Installation
1. ExpressCard adapters can be hot-plugged into a computer system, while running.

ExpressCard/54 slot.
3. Slide the adapter card into the ExpressCard slot fully and you should hear the card
engage with a clicking noise.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots hold an ExpressCard/34 adapter loosely, so
movement of the computer or the adapter card can result in accidental disconnection.
An ExpressCard/34 to /54 bracket is recommended for those types of computers
(i.e. StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).
4. The card should now be detected by the computer systems operating system.
5. To remove the card, press the card into the ExpressCard slot all the way and
you should hear it disengage with a clicking sound. The card should now be
automatically ejected from the slot.
OPTIONAL: If the ExpressCard slot on the computer does not provide enough power
to the USB ports, an external power adapter would be required and plugged into the
DC power connector.
