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 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 computer.

3. Remove your computer's cover.

4. Connect the DB9 Serial cable and DB25 Parallel
cable to the board's connector. Align the stripe on
the cable to Pin 1 of the board's connector. See
Figure 2 on page 3 for more information.

5. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus
connector with the selected Mini PCI Express slot
on the motherboard. Push the board firmly, but
gently into the slot until it is well seated.

6. Secure the serial port and the parallel port to the
system chassis.

7. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power
cord.
