Introduction  
The EC2S55254 2-Port Native 54mm ExpressCard RS232 Serial Adapter  
Card and EC1S1P55254 1S1P 54mm ExpressCard Serial Parallel Card  
with 16550 UART lets you add two RS232 serial ports or one serial and one  
parallel port to your laptop using an available 54mm ExpressCard slot.  
This high-performance RS232 ExpressCard adapter with included breakout  
cable features a 256 byte transmit/receive FIFO buffer and supports baud  
rates up to 128Kbps, with parallel data rates up to 1.5Mbps. A native chipset  
provides reliability and performance improvements, as well as lower CPU  
loads and power consumption over conventional bridge-chip serial cards.  
Designed for use with laptop computers equipped with 54mm ExpressCard  
slots, this serial card offers a broad operating system compatibility list  
including Windows®, Mac OS X and Linux for simple integration into almost  
any system.

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.  
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any  
compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks into  
place. To eject the card, simply push the card further into the slot until it clicks,  
and then release and it will then be automatically ejected from the slot.  
Turning the computer off to insert/remove ExpressCard adapters is not  
necessary as they are hot-pluggable.  
Driver Installation  
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003  
1. When the Found New Hardware wizard appears on the screen, insert  
the Driver CD into your CD/DVD drive. If you are prompted to connect to

card, into your CD/DVD drive and Windows will automatically proceed to  
search the CD.

software anyway” option to proceed.
