Lava Computer 2SP-550 - Manual (Page 2)

Windows Hardware and
Driver Installation
1. Before opening the casing of your computer, make sure that all
power is off.
2. Locate an unused PCIe slot and insert the 2SP-PCIe card into it.
Ensure that the card is well seated.
3. Screw the metal bracket of the 2SP-PCIe card to your PC’s casing,
screw the second serial port bracket to the casing also, and replace
the machine’s cover.
4. Turn the PC on.
5. When Windows starts, it will find a 2SP-PCIe Controller and will ask
you for a driver for this device. When prompted, insert the
installation CD into your floppy drive. After copying the necessary
files, Windows may restart your PC in order to complete the
installation of the 2SP-PCIe card. Any Plug and Play devices attached
to the 2SP-PCIe will now also be detected and installed. Windows
XP/Vista may display a message to the effect that the drivers are not
digitally signed. This warning can be ignored.
6. To view how Windows has installed the 2SP-PCIe, open Windows'
Device Manager. Please note that the 2SP-PCIe will appear in Device
Manager under three separate entries under the Ports tree, twice as
a serial port and once as a parallel port. Please use the appropriate
listings if you wish to customize any of the 2SP-PCIe card’s settings.
