C320Turbo/PCIEL
Windows 2003/XP (32-bit/64-bit)
In this section, we describe the installation procedure for Windows XP. The installation procedure for Windows
2003 is similar to Windows XP.
Windows 2003/XP support up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. In order to make the best use of
Windows 2003/XP's multi-process/multi-thread advanced features, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 2003/XP device
drivers were developed for Moxa multiport boards. The drivers conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.
Automatic Installation
The following procedure shows how to install the C320Turbo/PCIEL driver for the first time under Windows XP.
First, make sure that you have already plugged the board or boards into the system's PCI Express slot(s).
NOTE
If you have already installed a C320Turbo/PCIEL or other Moxa PCI Express board in your computer, and you
are installing additional boards, Windows 2003/XP will automatically detect and install the new board(s) the
next time you boot up the computer. In this case, proceed directly to the next section, "Configuring the Ports,"
to configure the ports' serial transmission parameters.

After plugging the board into an expansion slot and powering on your PC, Windows XP will
automatically detect the new board, and the Found New Hardware balloon will open in the bottom
right corner of the Windows desktop.
