Installation
WARNING! PCI 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
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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
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 color) and remove the metal plate that covers the
rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.
Retain 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. Connect the ribbon cable with the parallel port to the card with the red stripe facing Pin 1 as
indicated on the connector. Remove the metal plate from an available PCI slot bracket.
Secure the port in the empty bracket using the screw you removed.
7. Put the computer case back on.
