Installing a PS/2 Serial Port Adapter

NOTE:
See the documentation that came with the adapter for information on configuring the adapter, making
internal connections, or customizing it for your computer.
4 Align the PS/2 serial-port adapter bracket in the retention slot and press down firmly. Ensure that
the adapter is fully seated in the slot.
5 Before you close the card retention mechanism, ensure that:
• The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.
