If your system only has one COM: port, you will have to physically add in a card or USB-RS232 serial adapter, and follow the installation instructions.

If your system has 2 COM: ports, make sure that in the CMOS (BIOS) settings, that the port isn't disabled or assigned as an InfraRed port.

Also, make sure that you physically have the connectors at the back of the unit available. Many motherboards offer COM2: only as an option, and it requires an optional (not included) cable that hooks to the motherboard.
