PCI Express slots with different lane width
• Installs in any available PCI Express slot and
provides two 9-pin RS232 serial ports via a fanout
cable
• Spare enhanced low profile bracket is included to
work in low profile chassis
• 32-byte FIFO buffers dramatically increase data
transmit/receive speed and supports data rates up
to 230Kbps
• Works as standard RS232 port or with 5V or 12V
power output for devices that require power
System Requirements
• PCI Express-enabled system with an available PCI
Express slot

Note: Most serial devices do not require additional
power through the serial port. Refer to your serial
device's manual for more information. The jumpers
can be removed if no power output is required. If
power output is required, connect the system
power source to board's power connector.

Hardware Installation
General instructions for installing the card are provided
below. Since the design of computer cases and
motherboards vary, refer to your computer’s reference
manual for further information, if needed.
Static Electricity Discharge may permanently damage
your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in
your body by touching your computer’s case for a few
seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and
handle cards only by their external edges.
1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any
other connected peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the power cord from the computer, then
remove your computer’s cover.
3. Remove the slot bracket cover from an available
PCIe slot.
