Windows Drivers

Moxa provides drivers that allow you to use the following serial board products under Windows 7/8, Windows

2008/Vista/2003/XP/2000.

The overall procedure for

installing the Windows drivers for

the PCI Express boards is

summarized in the flowchart on

the right.

Windows 7/8 (32-bit/64-bit)

The Windows 8 installation procedures and popup windows are almost the same as Windows 7. Thus, in this

section, we describe the installation procedure for Windows 7 as an example.

Installing the Driver

The following procedure describes how to install the CP-104EL-A driver for the first time with Windows 7. 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 CP

-104EL-A or other Moxa PCI Express board in your computer, and you are

installing additional boards, Windows 7 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.
