Hardware Installation

General instructions for installing the card are provided

below. Since the design of computer cases and

motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference

manual for further information, if needed.
Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage

your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in

your body by touching your computer’s case for a few

seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and

handle cards only by their external edges.
1.

Turn OFF the power to your computer and any

other connected peripheral devices.

2.

Unplug the power cord from the back of the

computer.

3.

Remove your computer’s cover.

4.

Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI slot.

5.

Set JP1 and JP2 jumper settings to the desired voltage

only if your serial device needs additional power

from the serial port. However, most serial devices

do not require additional power. For more

information see Figure 1 on page 2. Skip this step if

power is not required.

6.

To install the card, carefully align the card's bus

connector with the selected PCI slot on the

motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but

gently, until it is well seated.

7.

Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the

card.

8.

Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power

cord.
