REMEMBER: the same COM port address or IRQ

setting CANNOT be used by more than one port in

your system. Each port assignment must be unique,

or a conflict will result and your connected device will

not work or communicate reliably.

Replace the holding screw to secure the connector bracket in place. 7. Connect the 10-pin connector on the end of each serial port’s attached ribbon cable to the SIO3 and SIO4 10-pin connectors on the I/O Expander 4S board. It does not matter which connector on the board they are attached to.
