1.

 

Turn the system power OFF before installation! 

2.

 

Use static electricity discharge precautions.   

3.

 

Remove the chassis cover from your computer   

4.

 

Locate an unused PCI Express  slot (typically white  and smaller) 

and remove the corresponding slot cover from computer chassis. 

5.

 

Plug the I/O card to the unused PCI  Express  expansion slot and 

attached the I/O card bracket to the computer chassis screw. 

6.

 

Installing the supplied DB62-to-DB9X8 octopus cable and serial 

cables to your serial devices. 

7.

 

Put the chassis cover back on the computer.   

8.

 

Turn ON the power of your computer and peripherals. 

9.

 

Proceed with Software Driver Installation. 

 
 

 

The  Multi Serial I/O  PCI Express card is plug-and-play so the driver 

installation is quite straightforward. Please “Browse” to the correct 

path on the Driver CD when Windows asking for the driver’s location. 

 

 
 

 

If your card is the basic model which was shipped with the low baud 
rate ( 1.8432MHZ crystal, 115.2Kbps maximum), then you are not able 
to support 921.6Kbps speed. If it is the enhanced model that supports 
14.7456HMZ crystal, please change the JP2 to “HI”, then go to the 
COM port’s settings of Windows’ Device Manager to let it detect the 
clock speed automatically.
