If you have the optional USB to serial converter you can install the drivers. If you are using Windows XP you
can plug in the converted and click NEXT when the new hardware found message appears. Select the directory
where the drivers are stored on the CD and click next. When the message appears about the driver testing, click
continue anyway. After the driver is installed you can check the system to verify that you have an additional
com port on your system.

If you are using a different operating system, follow the USB-to-Serial converter manual for instructions on
how to install on your system. Be sure not to attach the serial connector to the Micro-KIM while power is on as
damage may occur. With the drivers installed you may now attach the USB converter to an M/F DB9 serial
cable and to your Micro-KIM. At this point you are ready to power up your Micro-KIM and follow the
instructions for configuring the serial port in chapter 7.
