Before You Begin

To ensure a quick and easy installation, please read through this section carefully before

attempting to install the multi-panel.

WARNING! Flash 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.

System Requirements

•Windows 98SE (or higher) with a Pentium-class (or compatible) processor, or Mac OS

X with a Power PC (or above).

•ACD drive

•AUSB port

Contents

This package should contain:

•1x 6-in-1 card reader

•1x driver disk

Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your multi panel and the related

software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the

order listed.

Depending on your OS and the configuration of your system, the instructions below may

not be identical to what you see on your screen.

Installing the Panel

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

2. Remove the cover of your system and remove the cover from a 5.25” drive bay (see

your computer's user manual for details, if necessary).

3. Gently insert the panel into the open 5.25” bay (after threading the attached cables

into the computer) until it is flush with the front of the case. Make sure the bracket is

lined up with the screwholes in the case, and screw the panel into place.

4. Next you will plug in your cables. There are seven cables in all:

•3x USB 2.0 cables. These cables plug into open USB ports on the back of your

computer. Two of the USB cables are for the front USB ports. The third cable

(slightly separate from the larger group of cables) is for the card reader.

•1x IEEE 1394a cable. This cable plugs into an open FireWire port on the back of

your computer.

•1x black/white S/PDIF cable. The two S/PDIF connectors plug into the audio pins

on your motherboard. On the S/PDIF cable, the black wire is Ground, and the

white wire is Signal. The location of the audio pins on your motherboard depends

on your motherboard manufacturer. Check with your motherboard documentation

before connecting the S/PDIF cable. (Some sound cards use different connectors for

S/PDIF. If you need to use the second audio connector, plug S/PDIF cable’s white

wire into Pin 4 and the black wire into Pin 6 on the second cable)

•1x green headphone cable. This cable plugs into the headphone port on the back of

your computer.

•1x pink microphone cable. This cable plugs into the pink microphone port on the

back of your computer.

5. Put your case’s cover back on and power on your computer.

6. Your computer will display a message saying new hardware has been found.

Windows 98SE and 2000 users: Follow the onscreen prompts and direct Windows to

the appropriate folder on the driver disk. Windows will install the necessary drivers.

Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Using Your Multi Panel
