Introduction
Universal PCI (UPCI) multi-port serial cards can be installed in PCI or PCI-X slots, and support
both 3.3V and 5V PCI/PCI-X. With a UPCI board, you can connect data acquisition equipment
and other serial devices to your PC over RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Each board has on-chip
hardware and software flow control, a built-in 128-byte Tx/Rx FIFO, and well-designed device
drivers that have been fine-tuned. This allows UPCI boards to support data transfer rates of up to
921.6 Kb/s.

2. Insert the Driver CD in your CD-ROM drive.
3. Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced). Select Yes, this time only, then
click Next.

7. Use the Device Manager to check if the installation of the board and ports was successful.
Click on the + sign next to Hardware, and then check under Multifunction adapters and
Ports (COM & LPT). If there are any special marks, such as a question mark or
exclamation point, in front of the board or port icons, please shutdown the system and make
sure that the board is solidly installed into the PCI slot of the motherboard. At this time it is
a good idea to remove the card and place it into a different PCI slot, if one is available.
Otherwise, install it back into the same PCI slot.
