Installation Hardware Installation Connect the included breakout cable to the card prior to installing the card. This will prevent accidental disconnection of the card from trying to connect the breakout cable after the card is installed. NOTE: The connector on the EC1S1P55254 card will function as a standard DB25 parallel port without the breakout cable. Connect the breakout cable if the serial port is also required.
