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
drivers is shown on the right. A newly
installed board will be automatically
detected by the operating system.
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 8 as an example.
Installing the Driver
The following procedure describes how to install the CP-104U driver for the first time with Windows 8. First,
make sure that you have already plugged the board or boards into the system’s PCI or PCI-X slot(s).
NOTE
If you have already installed a CP-104U or other Moxa UPCI board in your computer, and you are installing
additional boards, Windows 8 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.
