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.
