voltage only if your serial device needs additional
power from the serial port. However, most serial
devices do not require additional power. For more
information see Figure 1 on page 2. The jumpers
can be removed if power output is not required.
6. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus
connector with the selected PCI slot on the
motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but
gently, until it is well seated.
