Windows Hardware and
Driver Installation
1. Before opening the casing of your computer, make sure that all
power is off.
2. Locate an unused PCIe slot and insert the SP-PCIe card into it. Ensure
that the card is well seated.
3. Screw the metal bracket of the SP-PCIe card to your PC’s casing and
replace the machine’s cover.
4. Turn the PC on.
5. When Windows starts,it will find an SP-PCIe Controller and will ask
you for a driver for this device.When prompted, insert the
installation CD into your floppy drive.After copying the necessary
files,Windows may restart your PC in order to complete the
installation of the SP-PCIe card.Any Plug and Play devices attached
to the SP-PCIe will now also be detected and installed.Windows
XP/Vista may display a message to the effect that the drivers are not
digitally signed.This warning can be ignored.
6. To view howWindows has installed the SP-PCIe, openWindows'
Device Manager.Please note that the SP-PCIe will appear in Device
Manager under two separate entries under the Ports tree,once as a
serial port and once as a parallel port. Please use the appropriate
listings if you wish to customize any of the SP-PCIe card’s settings.

Changing the Com numbering of the SP-PCIe port
In Windows 2000/XP/Vista,Com port numbering can be changed by
double-clicking the serial port entry displayed in Windows' Device
Manager (as described earlier). Go to Port Settings | Advanced, and
choose Com Port #.
Release Notes:
A. Because the SP-PCIe card uses PCI (not ISA) I/O address ranges,it will
never be seen by your BIOS at boot-up as a standard port even if the
address has been changed in Windows using the above procedure.
This is normal, and does not indicate a fault in your SP-PCIe card.
B. In standard installations of Windows 2000/XP/Vista, the I/O address
cannot be changed to a legacy address.
