PCMCIA Hardware Installation

Before installing your hardware, follow the NI-Serial Software Installation instructions.

To install the PCMCIA serial board in your computer, insert the card into a free PC Card (PCMCIA) socket. The card has no jumpers or switches to set, and you do not need to shut down the system before you insert it.
