Hardware Installation

Warning: PCIe Cards can be damaged by static electricity. Make sure that the Installer is properly grounded before they open the Computer Case or touch the PCIe Card. The Installer should wear an Anti-Static Strap when installing any computer component. If an Anti-Static Strap is not available, discharge any built-up static electricity by touching a large Grounded Metal Surface for several seconds. Only handle the PCIe Card by its edges and do not touch the gold connectors.

Jumper Configuration

Note: This PCIe Card is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth pin of the Serial Port for Serial Devices that support power over serial. Jumper configuration is a requirement when connecting Serial Devices that require power through the Serial Port.

The Jumper can be moved into one of three different positions in order to set the power output voltage for the Serial Port. The default setting for the Jumpers is RI, no power. The SATA Power Connector must be connected after configuring the Jumper to 5V or 12V of power. To configure the Jumper, complete the following:

1. Ensure the Computer Power is Off.

2. Locate and carefully remove the Jumper. Lift the Jumper straight up and off of the PCIe Card.
   Notes: The Jumper is located on the left-hand side, labeled as Serial 1 on the Printed Circuit Board. Always hold the Card by the edges.

3. Determine the power setting that is required for the Serial Port.

4. Position the Jumper over the set of Pins that correspond with the desired Serial Connector Power Setting. See Figure 1 to determine where the Jumper should be positioned.

5. Push the Jumper straight down and into place.

Note: Push the Jumper all the way into position for proper contact.

Installing the Card

1. Turn off the Computer and any Peripheral Devices that are connected (e.g. printers, external hard drives, etc.).

2. Unplug the Power Cable from the rear of the Computer and disconnect any Peripheral Devices that are connected.

3. Remove the Cover from the Computer Case.
   Note: Consult the documentation that came with the Computer for details about how to do this safely.

4. Locate an open PCI Express Slot and remove the corresponding Metal Cover Plate from the rear of the Computer Case. In most instances, the Metal Cover Plate is attached to the rear of the Computer Case with a single Screw. Save this Screw for the next step.

5. Gently insert the PCIe Card into the open PCI Express Slot and fasten the Bracket to the rear of the Computer Case, using the Screw from step 4.

6. Place the Cover back onto the Computer Case.

7. Reconnect all of the Peripheral Devices that were disconnected in step 2.

8. Connect a Serial Device to the Serial Port on the PCIe Card.

9. Connect a SPP/EPP/ECP Peripheral Device to the Parallel Port on the PCIe Card.

10. Reconnect the Power Cable to the rear of the Computer.
