2.4 Card Installation
1. Install the driver; see chapter 3.1 and chapter 3.2.
2. Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices (such as printers
and monitors).
3. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of
the computer.
4. Remove the PC’s cover (refer to your user’s guide if necessary).
5. Install and plug the PCI communication card on your PCI BUS.
6. Replace the PC’s cover. Connect the cables you removed in step 3.
7. Turn the computer power on.
8. Driver will install PCI Communication card automatically, see
chapter 3.3 and 3.4 and 3.5.
9. Test your COM port and verify if COM port could work normally,
see chapter 4.
10. Refer to the pin assignment and cabling for further information, see
chapter 5.
Note: We strongly recommend that you install the soft-
ware driver before you install the hardware into
your system, since this will guarantee a smooth
and trouble-free installation process.
Turn off your PC’s power supply whenever you
install or remove the PCI communication card or
its cables. Static electricity can easily damage
computer equipment. Ground yourself by touch-
ing the chassis of the computer (metal) before
you touch any boards. See the static warning on
