Introduction
The PEXSAT34SFF PCI Express 2.0 SATA Controller Card enables 4 AHCI SATA III
connections to be added to a computer through a single internal Mini-SAS
(SFF-8087) port.
The Mini-SAS connector with Port Multiplier support allows for multiple SATA drives
(up to 7) to be connected using a single cable. When used with our Mini-SAS to 4x
SATA breakout cable or Mini-SAS SFF-8087 backplane (accessories not included, SAS
drives not supported), you have a complete internal 6Gbps connectivity solution, all
from a single card.
Featuring HyperDuo technology, the SATA card oers SSD auto-tiering which lets
you balance the performance advantages of SSD storage with the cost-eectiveness
and large capacity of standard hard drives. By combining SSD and HDD drives into a
single volume (up to 3 SSD + 1 HDD), HyperDuo discreetly works in the background to
identify and move frequently accessed les to the faster SSD drive(s) for improved data
throughput – up to 80% of SSD performance! (Note: The HyperDuo automatic storage
tiering feature is compatible with Windows® XP, Vista, 7 and 8 only)
Compliant with SATA revision 3.0, this PCI Express SATA RAID card delivers up to 6Gbps
of data bandwidth; ideal for high performance hard drives and solid state drives (SSD).
Plus, the controller card oers an eective hardware RAID solution, with native RAID (0,
1, 1+0) support.

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 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.
1. Turn your computer o 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 x2 slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of
the computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.).
NOTE: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e.x4, x8, or x16 slots).
4. Gently 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 small form factor/low prole system, replacing the
pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may
be necessary.
5. Connect a SFF-8087 cable (not included) from the card to your SATA device(s).
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.

Management Utility Installation
(Optional - Windows only)
RAID and/or HyperDuo conguration can be accomplished either through the
integrated card-BIOS utility, or through the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU). Details for
installing the MSU are below.
To install the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) in Windows:
1. Run the MSUSetup.exe, selecting Next and accepting the license agreement when
prompted – the default installation options are recommended.
2. After installing the Apache2 HTTP Server (which is a built-in component of the
installation package), the installation may trigger a Windows Security Alert on some
versions of Windows, please allow access.
3. Before opening the MSU, verify that Active Scripting or JavaScript is enabled in
the browser.
a. Internet Explorer
i. From the menu bar, select Tools > Internet Options.
ii. Select the “Security” tab, then “Local Intranet”, then “Custom level”.

Windows Vista/ 7/ 8
The driver is natively supported by newer Operating Systems. The driver should
automatically install through Windows Update.
Verifying Installation
Windows
From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7/8), then
select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Device Manager
from the left window panel.
Under the “SCSI and RAID Controllers” category (“Storage Controllers” in Vista or later),
should be a “Marvell 92xx” device. Right-click on the device and select “Properties” to
make sure it is installed and working correctly.
For Windows 7 and 8, if using the native drivers, the card will instead be listed under
the “IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller” category as a “Standard AHCI” device.
