Driver Installation
Windows 2000/ XP/ Server 2003/ Vista/ Server 2008 R2/ 7
1. Upon starting Windows, if the “Found New Hardware” wizard appears on the screen,
cancel/close the window and insert the included Driver CD into the computer’s CD/
DVD drive.
2. AutoPlay should automatically launch and display all of the folders on the CD
or provide a prompt to view all files on the CD. If not, open “My Computer” and
double-click on the CD/DVD drive.
3. Enter the folder “USB to Serial”, then “WIN_DRV” and double-click the Driver Installer
file.
4. This will launch the driver Installation wizard. Continue through the wizard and
once complete, all the necessary drivers will be installed.
5. Install the serial adapter card as outlined below and Windows will automatically
install the drivers. Once complete, the serial port should be ready for use.
Hardware Installation
After the drivers have been installed, the ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the
ExpressCard slot on the computer system. 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 automatically ejected from the slot.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not firmly hold an ExpressCard/34 card so the
34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET2).
