Chapter 3: WINDOWS INSTALLATION

Windows 95 and Windows 98

Any prior installation using previous B&B serial drivers must be removed before installing the new drivers. (Refer to page 16.)

Windows 98 screens are shown for this section. Windows 95 is a bit different with fewer steps and the screen names and text shown differs. Windows 95 differences are noted (W95:…)

1.Configure the card for x1 or x4 Clock Speed.

2.Install the card in the slot, start the computer.

3.Windows will detect the PCI card, start the Add New Hardware Wizard, and begin driver installation. When installation is complete, Windows will set the hardware addressing & interrupt using the drivers and the Plug and Play function of the Operating System.

4.The driver installation proceeds in two parts, the first part installs the driver for the PCI Serial card, the second part installs the serial driver for the Com Port A & B (Port A=Port 1, Port B=2).

NOTE: The single or dual-port RS-232 PCI Serial Adapter cards will be identified as the 3PCISD1 (232PCI1x) or 3PCISD2 (232PCI2x) by the drivers. They are functionally the same to the Operating System, except for the number of ports supported.
