Installation
Note: Please refer to the user manual that came with your
personal computer for detailed installation instructions.
Use the following procedure to install your Serial I/O Adapter Card:
1. Set the host computer system power switch to OFF and
disconnect the power cord.
2. Locate a free PCI expansion slot.
3. Insert and secure the board firmly into the expansion slot.
4. Connect the Host SSP-16 (37L1476) cable between the SST-
16P board and the Connector Panel (see Figure 1).
5. Replace the power cord and turn the host computer system ON.
Plug and Play
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) system architecture has a
design feature termed Plug and Play. This feature automatically
detects, identifies and configures the currently installed devices
each time the system is booted. Therefore, whenever an adapter
card is installed (or removed) in a PCI system, the card is recog-
nized and configured immediately upon restart.
Software Installation
Refer to the Quick Start Card that came with the CD ROM for
detailed instructions on loading the Software Driver
