Installation

WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged

by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your

computer case or touching your 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 card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

1. Remove the computer cover. For more detailed instruction on how to perform this

step, please refer to the documentation that was included with your computer at

the time of purchase.

2. Locate an empty PCI Express slot, removing the metal bracket covering the

accompanying empty port/socket.

3. Position the card above the open PCI Express slot, ensuring that the card is properly

aligned with the slot. Insert the card rmly into the slot, distributing force evenly

across the length of the board. Once inserted, secure the card into the adjoining

socket (previously covered by metal bracket), using the correct size screw.

4. Replace the computer cover and re-connect all power to the computer.

Software Installation

1. Power on the host computer, and wait for the operating system to fully boot. Once

it does, the added card will be detected and you will be prompted to provide the

necessary drivers.

2. Insert the Driver CD that was included with PEX4S950 into the CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Please note: When installing the software for

PEX4S950, ensure that you browse to the correct

operating system folder. Allowing Windows to

search for the le may result in the incorrect le

being installed, as the Driver CD contains several

versions of the necessary software.

3. When the Found New Hardware Wizard is

displayed, please select Install from a list or

specic location (Advanced) and click Next.

Instruction Manual

4. Select Include this location in the search, then click on Browse to specify the exact

le location (E:\IO\OXFORD\NT4 etc.) and click Next to continue. Please note that

if the exact le is not selected, an installation conict could occur. Please pay

particular attention to the folder name, when browsing to the destination le.

5. Click Next to continue and click Finish to complete the installation.

6. Right-click on the My Computer icon, and select Manage. Choose Device Manager

(in the left pane), and double-click on Ports (in the right pane).

7. Right-click on one of the newly added ports, and choose Properties. Click on the

Data rate tab, then click on Detect Crystal Frequency. Click OK to save this setting.

8. You will be required to complete steps 1-7 multiple times in order to install all

necessary components. Please do so. Once complete, a message balloon will appear

in the taskbar (normally the bottom right corner of the screen), indicating that

installation is complete:

9. To conrm that all of the necessary components have successfully been installed

browse to the Device Manager. To perform this step, right-click on My Computer

and select Manage. In the left pane of the Computer Management window that

appears, click on Device Manager. In the right pane, you should see the following:

10. Installation is now complete. You can now connect serial devices as desired, to the

ports provided by the card.
