Packaging Contents
• 1x PCI1S650PW serial card
• 1x Low-prole backet
• 1x Installation CD
• 1x Instruction Manual
System Requirements
• IBM-compatible computer
• Available PCI or PCI-X slot (full size or low prole)
• Acomputer running Windows 2003/XP/Vista/7(32 & 64-bit)
• Available PCI or PCI-X slot (standard or low-prole)
• CD-ROM or other optical drive (for driver software installation)
WARNING! PCI cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by static
electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer
case or touching your PCI card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static
strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable,
discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal
surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the
PCI card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Installation
This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI card and the related
software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the
order listed.
Installing the Card
PCI
Slots
1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.
2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer’s user manual for details, if
necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side.
3. (a) Locate an empty PCI or PCI-X slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal
plate that covers the rear bracket. If present, PCI-X slots will be slightly longer than
a standard PCI slot. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. Retain
this screw! You will need it to secure the card later.
(b) If you are installing the card in a low-prole slot, remove the standard bracket
by removing the screws on the underside of the card. Place the low-prole bracket
onto the card and align the holes in the card with those in the bracket. Ensure the
orientation of the new bracket matches the one you removed. Re-secure the bracket
with the screws. Do not over-tighten.
4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is rmly seated.
5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.
6. If you wish to use this card to power compatible external serial peripherals over a
data connection, you should also connect a power cable from your power supply to
the 4-pin SP4 power connector on the outer edge of the card, marked J7. The SP4
power connector is the same type of power connector commonly used to power
3.5” oppy disk drives (see example of the card connector at right).
7. Put your computer case back on.

internal and external power
voltages, and to congure which
serial ports will receive 5v, 12v, or
RI signal (unpowered) through the
9th pin.

devices on the DB9 port
