PB-2500J-PCIe/ CSM Configuring Windows System Please make sure you’ve configured your Windows system to initiate a shutdown process when pressing the power button. By default, Windows 7/ 8/ 10 goes to sleep (S3) mode when the power button is pressed. As sleep (S3) is not a complete shutdown behavior, PB-2500J will not recognize this command.
PB-2500J-PCIe/ CSM Changing COM Port Connection When PB-2500J is connected to host computer’s COM1 and is configured in RS-232 mode, the configurer should look similar to the following illustration. If for whatever reason, the COM port connection needs to be connected to another COM port (COM2, 3 or 4), the configurer will read false readings (F/W Version, DC Voltage, CAP Energy) upon initial connection change.
