Installation  
Installing the PCI Express expansion card  
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.

Boot BIOS  
1. Turn OFF the computer power before installation.  
2. Remove the chassis cover from your computer.  
3. Locate an unused PCI Express slot and remove the corresponding slot cover from  
rear panel of the computer chassis. Retain the screw (if applicable) used to hold the  
slot cover in place.  
4. Align the PCI Express card with the unused PCI Express expansion slot. Applying  
pressure evenly across the top edge of the expansion card, firmly but gently insert  
the card into the slot, ensuring that the card is properly aligned with the rear panel  
slot.  
5. Secure the card to the motherboard and rear chassis, using the screw removed in  
step 3

6. With the drives secured within the computer case, use the IDE cable provided to  
connect the Master and Slave devices to the PEX2IDE IDE connector. Please note the  
orientation of the IDE cable, as illustrated below.

7. Replace the chassis cover (removed in step 2).  
8. Power on the computer and observe the BIOS messages that appear on the monitor.  
The BIOS will list all Parallel ATA devices attached to the PATA PCI Express Host  
Adapter. For example:  
(Copyright Messages)  
HDD0: Maxtor 6L080P0  
81 GB  
Press any key to continue...  
If the information displayed on your monitor is correct (all installed devices are listed  
with the correct device name, etc.), the PATA PCI Express Host Adapter has successfully  
been installed in your computer.  
Software Installation  
Because PEX2IDE supports native IDE mode, driver installation is not required.  
Windows operating systems will detect the card and install the necessary driver  
automatically.  
Changing the Boot Sequence  
Changes to the boot sequence of the devices installed in the host computer must be  
made through the host computer motherboard BIOS setup utility.  
1. Launch the motherboard BIOS setup utility. Normally, this can be done by pressing  
the DEL (DELETE) key while the BIOS is checking all hardware configurations  
2. Select Advanced BIOS Features

3. Change the Hard Disk Boot Priority / First Boot Device to enable the system to boot  
from the designated drive.  
4. Save and exit the BIOS.  
Please note that due to variations in BIOS designs, the above instructions may differ  
from your system BIOS. For further instruction on how to complete this step, please  
consult the documentation that accompanied your motherboard or computer system  
purchase.
