electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or

touching your PCI card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap

when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge

yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface

(such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful to handle the PCI card

by its edges and not the gold connectors.

This package should contain:

• 1 x PCI serial card

• 1 x driver disk

Instruction Manual

IInnssttaallllaattiioonn

This section will guide you through the installation of your PCI 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 PCI slot (usually white in colour) and remove the metal plate that

covers the rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this step.

Hang on to 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. Connect the cables from the additional serial ports to the I/O card, making sure that

the red stripes are on their respective Pin 1s.

NOTE: If you are unsure of the location of Pin 1, look at the back of your card. The pin

marked with the square solder is Pin 1.

7. Remove a second metal plate from the rear bracket and secure the second plate into

place in the manner described above.

8. Put your computer case back on and turn the computer on.

Installing the Drivers

Before attaching any peripherals to your serial card, you should install the software

drivers that accompany this device. Depending on your OS and the configuration of your

system, the instructions below may not be identical to the instructions on your screen.

Linux users: Consult the text file located in the Linux folder on the driver disk.

DOS users: Copy the NMDOSIN.exe file from the DOS folder on the driver disk onto your

hardrive and run NMDOSIN.exe/? for further instructions.

Win XP/2000/Me/98

1. Windows will automatically detect the new hardware. Click Next.

2. Select Search for the best driver for my device (Recommended) and click Next.

3. Insert the driver disk into the disk drive. Select Specify a location and click Next.

Instruction Manual

4. Click Browse and direct Windows to the appropriate folder on the driver disk.

NOTE: Windows Me users should use the Windows 98 folder.

5. Click on the Next folder to begin installation.

6. When installation is complete, click Finish and restart your computer.

Windows 95 (OSR2)

NOTE: If you are unsure of what version of Windows 95 you are running, right-click on

My Computer and select Properties. If your system is listed as 4.00.950 B or C, you are

running OSR2. If your system is listed as 4.00.950 A or there is no letter, you are running

Original Version and the card will not work properly.

1. Windows will detect the new hardware and starts the Update Device Driver wizard.

Insert your driver disk into the disk drive and click Next to continue.

2. The system will search for the driver. If it can’t automatically find the driver, click

“Other Locations” and direct Windows to the location of the Win 95B folder on the

driver disk.

3. Once the driver has been located, click Finish. The system will now automatically

install the drivers. Reboot your computer to complete the installation procedure.

Windows NT 4.0

1. Open the WinNT folder on the driver disk and double-click on the Nt40.exe icon.
