Lava 2SP-PCI Installation Manual SERIAL 2 MADE IN LAVA COMPUTERS 2SP PCI P.N. MOKO L73.1 Rev.
Windows Hardware and Driver Installation 1. Before opening the casing of your computer, make sure that all power is off. 2. Locate an unused PCI slot and insert the 2SP-PCI card into it. Ensure that it is well seated, and screw the metal bracket of the board to your PC’s casing. 3. Locate an unused back panel in your PC’s casing (preferably one that does not correspond to a slot) and remove the metal insert. Screw the bracket of the second serial port of the 2SP-PCI card to the casing in this location.
5. When Windows starts, it will find a 2SP-PCI Controller and will ask you for a driver for this device. When prompted, insert the installation diskette into your floppy drive. After copying the necessary files from the diskette, Windows may restart your PC in order to complete the installation of the 2SP-PCI card. Any Plug and Play devices attached to the 2SP-PCI will now also be detected and installed. Windows XP may display a message to the effect that the drivers are not digitally signed.
Connecting a non-printer device (e.g. external drive or parallel scanner) to the 2SP-PCI's parallel port In Windows 95/98/ME (not Windows 2000/XP) some parallel port devices require parallel ports that use standard (legacy) ISA LPT addresses (0278h or 0378h). Because the 2SP-PCI card is a fully compliant PCI device, its default address (Input/Output Range) is beyond the standard range of ISA I/O addresses.
2. Remove the check mark from the Use Automatic Settings box. Note: In some cases Windows will give an error message to the effect that "Windows cannot modify this resource" at this point. If you are unable to access the settings for changing system resources, reboot the system in Safe Mode to make changes to resource settings. (To enter Safe Mode, press the F8 key while the system is rebooting.) 3. Double-click on the words Input/Output Range.The following screen will appear: 4.
Changing the Com numbering of your 2SP-PCI ports (Windows 95/98/Me only) Unless you already have more than 4 Com Ports installed in your PC, Windows will by default configure the serial ports of the 2SP-PCI as Com 5 and Com 6. If you wish to change the assigned Com number of either of these ports (e.g. reassign Port 1 to be Com 3), please use the Lava Com Port Redirect Utility included in the “Utils\Redirect“ subdirectory of your Installation Diskette.
Using Zip Drives with the 2SP-PCI NOTE: The default input/output range for the 2SP-PCI card works with Zip™ drives using new Iomegaware™ software.The instructions "Connecting a non-printer device" given above apply to Zip™ drive users using old versions of Iomegaware™. For best results with Windows 2000 and XP, we recommend downloading the latest "Iomegaware" from Iomega.
