2. Installazione manuale: If automatic installation fails or for other operating systems, insert the provided Product Support CD-ROM. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the FTDI drivers. Alternatively, the latest drivers can be downloaded from the official FTDI websito.
3. After installation, verify the adapter is recognized in your device manager (Windows) or system information (Mac/Linux) as a USB Serial Port.
