Windows NT
Before you begin the installation, make sure you are logged in as a user with
administrative privileges.
1. Start the Control Panel applet by double-clicking on its icon in the Program Managers
main group.
2. Double-click the Network icon to bring up the Network Control Panel applet.
3. Select Add Adapter. A list of possible adapters will be displayed. Select “Other:
Requires disk from manufacturer.”
4. When prompted for the path, specify the location of the driver for the card you
installed. Depending on your version of the driver disk, the drivers for the
PCI2S422ISO
may be found in the P220/NT4 folder. The drivers for the
PCI4S422ISO
may be found in the P584/NT4 folder.
5. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete installation. Make sure that the COM port
number does not conflict with any other devices in your system.
6. Use the “Binding” function to make more serial ports available. If you do not perform
a binding function, you may not have an extra COM port available in your next boot
procedure.
Notes:
• When installing two cards in the same system, the card with the jumper ON will be
assigned the lower COM port number. The card with the jumper OFF will have the
higher COM port number.
Windows Me/98/95
Once you turn your computer on after installing the card, Windows will automatically
detect the new hardware. Follow the onscreen prompts and direct Windows to the Win95
folder on the driver disk (Windows Me, 98, and 95 use the same driver).
Notes:
• After you install the driver, you may get another message saying that new hardware
has been found. You do not need to install the driver again.
• Each serial card needs an open IRQ for Plug and Play function.
• In Windows 98, you need to assign the card to COM 5 or higher, because COM 3/4
has been reserved for a legacy COM port.
