power to the PC.

[My Computer] and start the [Add New Hardware].

4. Click [Next >] in response to [To begin installing your new

hardware, click Next] in the Add New Hardware Wizard.

Windows to search for your new hardware ?].

6. After following the instructions and completing detection, use

[Details...] to check that the standard serial ports have been

Resources" section below to check the interrupt level assigned

the jumper, correct the setting in the OS.

installed as standard serial ports (COM*).
