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.

Setting Power Mode (Serial Port only)

This card is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth pin of the DB9

connector for devices that support power over serial. This card allows users to set the

port with 5V, 12V, or RI (no power) by setting the J2 jumper. Users can also choose to

draw the necessary power from the system power supply by connecting to the LP4

power connector.
