Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com PCI 16550 serial card. This high performance

add-in card adds one or two serial ports to your PC work station. You can connect your

PDAs, digital cameras, serial printers, or any other peripheral that uses as RS-232 serial

interface.

Features

• Transfers data at speeds of up to 920 Kbps

• Supports true 32-bit PCI-Bus

• Conforms to PCI V2.1 Plug and Play standards

• Eliminates IRQ conflict by sharing IRQ lines

• Backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty

Before You Begin

To ensure a quick and easy card installation, please read through this section carefully

before attempting to install the card.

System Requirements

• An IBM PC or compatible computer running Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, NT 4.0,

Windows 3.1, Linux

• An open PCI slot

WARNING! PCI 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 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.

Contents

This package should contain:

• 1 x PCI serial card

• 1 x driver disk

• 1 x second port with IDE ribbon (PCI2S550_LP only)

Installation

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.

NOTE: Before you install the card, make sure that you have the appropriate software

drivers ready for download. If your OS is not listed on the driver diskette you may have

to download the drivers from our website first. See “Installing the Drivers” (pg. 4) for

more details.

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. PCI2S550_LP ONLY: To install the second port on the PCI2S550_LP, join the

connector cable of the second port to the card, making sure that the red stripe on the

cable is connected to the labelled pin 1.

7. Put the computer cover back on.
