Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Slot Saver PCI card. This product allows you

to add 2 Serial ATA (SATA), 3 FireWire 400, and 4 USB 2.0 ports to your computer using

a space-saving single card design. Perfect for users looking to upgrade their computers

to handle demanding high-speed devices, this card offers easy Plug and Play installation

and the ability to connect peripherals using a variety of popular interfaces.

Features

•Connect three types of devices to your computer using a single PCI card: USB 2.0,

FireWire 400, and Serial ATA (SATA)

•Offers two additional internal connectors for connecting case-mounted hubs and other

devices: one USB 2.0 and one FireWire

•Backed by StarTech.com’s industry-leading lifetime warranty and technical support

Before You Begin

System Requirements

•One available PCI slot

•One of the following operating systems: Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/2003, MacOS X

•Minimum processor requirements:

Intel Pentium II (400 MHz or faster)

Intel Pentium III or higher (any speed)

Intel Celeron (900 MHz or faster)

AMD Athlon (any speed)

Mac G3 processor (original, not an upgrade)

•ACD-ROM or other optical drive (for software installation)

WARNING! PCI 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 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 card

by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI Slot Saver card. Please

read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the order listed.

Installing the Card

1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer’s user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Retain this screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the PCI card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Connect the SP4 end of the supplemental power “Y”

cable (provided, pictured at right) to the 4-pin white

connector on the edge of the card. The SP4

connector is keyed so it cannot be installed

improperly.

7. Connect the LP4 male connector on the “Y” cable to

an available power connector from the power

supply. If there is no power connector available, you may remove one from an

existing device (i.e. CD-ROM).

8. If you removed a power connector from another device in the previous step, connect

the LP4 female connector on the “Y” cable to that device so both that device and the

card can be powered. Otherwise, that end of the cable can be left unplugged and will

be available to power future devices that you may add to your computer.

9. Put the computer case back on.

Installing the Drivers

Once you have connected your Slot Saver card, the next time you turn on your computer

Windows will automatically detect that you have installed new hardware. Insert the

Instruction Manual

Troubleshooting

Q: Why are frames are dropped when I capture from and export to my DV camcorder?

A: Please make sure that DMA (Direct Memory Access) is enabled if you are using IDE

hard disks. DMA access is automatically enabled by default in Windows 2000 and XP.

For Windows 98SE and ME, follow these steps:

1. Right click My Computer and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Hardware

tab.

2. Click the plus (+) sign next to Disk Drives. Highlight your hard disk from the list, right

click it, and choose Properties.

3. Click the Settings tab and check the DMA box. Click OK and restart the computer

when prompted. If needed, repeat these steps for each installed hard disk.

Q: I am having problems with video quality (dropped frames, poor or no audio, signal

noise, etc.) when capturing video from a digital video source over my FireWire card.

How can I correct this?

A: Most problems associated with digital video capture can be minimized or eliminated

by changing the configuration of the video capture software you are using. The default

settings often need to be adjusted to reflect the capabilities of the computer and digital

video source you are using.

Q: I receive a power warning from the operating system when I connect my device. Is

this a problem with the card?

A: No. Some high-draw devices (such as scanners and cameras) that do not have their

own power connection must draw all of their power from the USB port. If you receive

this warning, connect a powered USB hub such as StarTech.com’s ST4200USB to the

computer and connect the device to the hub. Since it has an external power source, the

hub will be able to supply sufficient power to the device.

Q: My scanner does not seem to work with the USB card. Is this a problem with the

card?

A: Some USB scanners (often manufactured prior to 2000) are incompatible with non-

Intel USB controllers like the ones used on StarTech.com’s USB cards. We suggest

downloading the most current drivers for the scanner from the manufacturer’s Web site

to try and resolve the issue. If you computer has integrated USB ports, you may also be

able to resolve the problem by moving the scanner to an integrated port and connecting

the other device to the USB card.
