IDE to CF Adapter Card with a PCI Bracket

Installation

WARNING! This card, 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 the 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 card by its edges or the installation bracket.

1.

Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to

the computer (i.e. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug

the power cable from the rear of the power supply on the

back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.

2.

Remove the cover from the computer case. See

documentation for your computer system for details.

3.

Locate an open expansion card slot on the computer

case and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the

computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer

system for details.).

Set the Master/Slave mode jumper on the CF adapter. See

“IDE Mode Jumper” section for further details

power cable adapter is included.

9.

Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply

and reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.
