IRQ left for P&P function. If there are no IRQs left to be assigned to
the serial communication card, there may be errors in the operation.

2.5.3 Windows

2000/XP

Installation

Once the Windows 2000/XP system has been started, the Plug and Play
function in 2000/XP system will find the new cPCI-3534/3538/3544 card. If
this is the first time installing drivers on your 2000/XP system, a dialogue
box will instruct the user to install the driver. Follow the instructions below
to specify the driver location.
For cPCI-3534/3538

X:\SerialComm\cPCI-353X\Win2000-XP; X is the CD-ROM

For cPCI-3544

X: \SerialComm\cPCI-3544W2000; X is the CD-ROM


As the resource will be assigned by PCI BIOS, it is relatively difficult to
check which card is first card or second card from resource. For this
reason, ADLINK has placed a jumper in each cPCI-3534/3538 card to set
the first card or second card for this these comport cards. (cPCI-3544 does
not include this function). The COM port number can now be fixed for each
card. This is very important for cPCI-3534/3538 card.
