Installation

Hardware 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

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 and not the gold connectors.

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 PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate

on the rear of the computer case (Refer to documentation for your

computer system for details.). Note that this card will work in PCI

Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the

bracket to the rear of the case.

NOTE: If installing the card into a low profile desktop system,

replacing the preinstalled standard profile bracket with the

included low profile (half height) installation bracket may be

necessary.

5. If desired, connect the optional SATA power using an available

connector from your power supply.

6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and

reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.

Driver Installation

Windows

1. Upon starting Windows, if the Found New Hardware wizard

appears on the screen, cancel/close the window and insert the

included Driver CD into the computer’s CD/DVD drive.

2. Run the RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-30230-setup.exe application

from the Autoplay menu. If Autoplay is disabled on your system,

browse to your CD/DVD drive and run the application.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

NOTE: You may be prompted to restart once the install completes.
