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. Change 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's holding screw to secure the card.
8. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power cord.
