Installation
Hardware Installation
For laptops with ExpressCard/54 slots, the optional 34 to 54mm Slot Spacer adapter can be used.
Simply clip on the slot spacer adapter to the side of the serial adapter card as shown below.
The EC1S952/EC2S952 adapter cards will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on the laptop.
Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the
card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be ejected from the slot.
If using the EC2S952 Serial Adapter card, make sure to connect the DB9 breakout cable to the
card, before inserting it into the ExpressCard slot.
