Boost.pcie Driver Upgrade / Rollback; Upgrading The Boost.pcie Driver - Brainboxes XC-157 Product Manual

9. Boost.PCIe Driver Upgrade / Rollback

There are several parts to the Boost.PCIe, driver:
For RS-232:
Example
Card driver: "Brainboxes ExpressCard 1xRS-232 (XC-235)"
•
Port driver: "Brainboxes RS-232 Serial Port (COM4)"
•
For LPT :
Card driver: "Brainboxes ECP Parallel Port (XC-475) (LPT3)"
•
Port driver : "Brainboxes RS-232 Serial Port (COM4)"
•
NB - If you need to upgrade or roll back the Boost.PCIe driver, we recommend to completely
uninstall the existing drivers first, and then to install the new drivers from fresh. This will restore all
settings to factory default. However, if you instead wish to retain your settings, you can use the
'Update Driver' or "RollBack" in Device Manager for upgrading/rolling back the Boost.PCIe driver.

9.1 Upgrading the Boost.PCIe Driver

i. Go to Device Manager and Right Click on the Serial Card entry (Found under Multiport Serial
Adapters – see image below)
ii. Select Upgrade Driver. This will launch the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the on
screen instructions and point to the location of the new driver package.
NB: It is only possible to upgrade the Boost.PCIe driver via the ExpressCard entry in Device Manager
and not the Serial Port entry. The upgrade process will automatically upgrade the Port driver.
