Installation

WARNING! Computer parts can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are

properly grounded before opening your computer case. 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.

Jumper Configuration

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

connector(s) for devices that support power over serial. This card allows users to set each port

with 5V, 12V, or RI (no power) by setting the jumper appropriately. Use the provided adapter

cable to connect the power input header to the system power supply.

Hardware Installation

Connect both of the ribbon cables in the respective header connectors on the Mini PCI Express

adapter card. The connector on the ribbon cable should be keyed so will only fit one way.
Line up and insert the Mini PCI Express adapter card with the Mini PCI Express slot on the system

board. Match up the gap in the card connector, with the notch in the slot.
NOTE: Different systems may have different methods for installing mini cards, so please refer

to documentation for your system/board for full installation instructions for your particular

application.
