Drivers

Missing drivers for PCI Serial Port and for PCI Simple Communications Controller, please link/advise which drivers I need to download. Thank you!

Users that have a need for drivers as noted usually have done a clean install without the Recovery Manager doing the install.  The drivers for that model for Windows 7 are listed here

Start with the chipset drivers.  Look in "Device Manager" to find other driver needs and then use the Hardware IDs to identify the devices.  You can post them here or do a "Google Search"

Hi, @Sheridanbrown

You need this driver (not found under the chipset driver section), which will install both devices...

This package contains the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), including the Active Client Manager Host Embedded Controller Interface (HECI) device driver, and the Intel Local Management Service (LMS) and Serial-over-LAN (SOL) support for the supported desktop models and operating systems.

Thanks @Paul_Tikkanen

You always seem to have the correct drivers.

Thank you! I was slowly working my way down the list of drivers available for my pc but I thought it would be quicker to ask. Thank you for your help!

You're very welcome.
