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.
Hardware Installation
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any compatible
system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’and locks into place. To eject the
card, simply push the card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will
then be automatically ejected from the slot.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not rmly hold an ExpressCard/34 card, so a
34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).
Driver/Software Installation
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. AutoPlay should automatically prompt you to run “Setup.exe”. If not, open “My
Computer” and double-click on the CD/DVD drive. Double-click the “Setup.exe”
icon.
3. Proceed through the Installation wizard.
4. Complete the wizard and this should automatically install all necessary drivers/
software. An icon for “StreamCatcher” should now be on the desktop.
