Removal of Card & Drivers

If you need to remove the card from your system or remove the current driver before installing a possible future driver upgrade:

1.Click on 3PCISD1 Port A under Ports (COM & LPT) and select Uninstall (right click). (The 3PCIOSD1x identifies as 3PCISD1.)

2.Next Click on PCI Serial Adapter (3PCISD1) under B&B Electronics. Select Uninstall.

3.Remove the two sets of driver files from the Windows INF directory. (These are named by the OS in the sequence of installation. On a clean system they are: Oem0.inf & Oem0.PNF and Oem1.inf & Oem1.PNF. The .inf versions should be verified by opening it with Notepad, then checking that it is a B&B Electronics file. The PNF version is a compiled copy of the same information.)

You can use the Find, File or Folder function to search for the text B&B within the files.

You may need to set your Views (under My Computer) to show all files and folders if the INF directory and .inf files are not visible.

4.Shut down the system and remove the card.
