Installation
This section will guide you through the installation of your ISA card and the related
software. Please read through the instructions carefully and complete each step in the
order listed.
Installing the Card
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. Locate an empty ISA slot and remove the metal plate that covers the rear bracket.
You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step. Retain the screw! You will
need it to secure the card later.
4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.
5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.
6. Put the computer case back on.

There are three sets of jumpers that can be configured on your card: reference transfer
rate, COM address, and IRQ address.
Reference Transfer Rate
There are three possible transfer rate settings (labeled 1, 2, and 4) for the COM port(s).
The phrase “reference” refers to the maximum possible transfer rate between the port
and your device, and my not be the actual transfer speed under operational conditions.
Each pin corresponds to the following transfer rate:
