The CyberPro PCI 4S high-speed serial I/O card provides
four additional 9-pin serial ports.
Features and Benefits
• Conforms to PCI v2.2 Plug and Play
• Full support for Windows-based software
• Reduces CPU load and improves system
performance dramatically
• IRQ sharing feature reduces IRQ conflicts
• High-speed serial port (9-pin) works with 56K V.90
external modems, ISDN terminal adapters, PDAs,
digital cameras, label printers and other serial port
devices
• Built-in FIFO buffers dramatically increase data
transmit/receive speed, especially under Windows'
multitasking environment
• Each serial port can be configured for either 5v or
12v output, for serial devices that require additional
power
System Requirements
• Pentium or equivalent computer with an available
PCI slot
• Windows® 95/98/98SE/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP (32-

Jumper Settings (JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4)
Open = 0 volts (default)
Short 1-2 = 5V
Short 2-3 = 12V
Note: Most serial devices do not require additional
power through the serial port. Refer to your serial
device's manual for more information. The jumpers
can be removed if the ports do not need power.

Hardware Installation
General instructions for installing the card are provided
below. Since the design of the 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 computer.
3. Remove your computer’s cover.
4. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCI slot.
5. Set JP1-JP4 jumper settings to the desired voltage
only if your serial device(s) needs additional power
from the serial port. However, most serial devices
do not require additional power. For more
information go to Figure 1 on page 2. Skip this step
if power is not required.
6. If you need four serial ports, connect the 2-port
ribbon cable connector now. See Figure 2 on page 3
for more details. Skip this step if you only need two
serial ports.
7. 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.
8. Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the
card.
9. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power
cord.
