J2: Aux power connector, it can be connected to standard
power supply to provide +5V or +12V power to both DB9
connectors.
JP3: Power Source Selector for DB9 connectors, it is used to
select where is the device power source of +5V and +12V will
come from, from PCI golden fingers or from J2 power connector.

Description
Both +5V and 12V are
supplied from PCI slot
(Default)
Both +5V and +12V are
supplied from J2
JP5: S1 Power Pin Selector (for Port 1 DB9 connector)
JP4: S2 Power Pin Selector (for Port 2 DB9 connector)
The 2 jumpers are used to supply +5V or +12V to designated pin
of the DB9 connectors (JP5 for S1 and JP4 for S2). The factory
default settings are set at “DIS” location (no power supplied to
the DB9 connectors). The power can be wired to pin 1, 4, 8, or 9.
To set this jumper, locate the column where with pin number
printed (PIN1, 4, 8 or 9), move the jumper from DIS position to +5V
or +12V position. If the jumper is set at “+5V” position, then +5V
will be wired to the designated pin. If the jumper is set at “+12V”,
then +12V will be wired to the designated pin number shown
above the column.

Default: All jumpers are at “DIS” positions, no power supplied to DB9
connector
Example: If you want to supply +12V over pin 9 of the external DB9
connectors. Here is the jumper position for you.
1. Turn the system power OFF before installation!
2. Remove the chassis cover from your computer
3. Locate an unused PCI slot and remove the corresponding slot
cover from computer chassis.
4. Plug the I/O card to the unused PCI expansion slot and attached
the I/O card bracket to the computer chassis screw.
5. Put the chassis cover back on the computer.
6. Install the DB44M-to-DB9Mx2 Octopus Cable.
7. Install the serial devices to the male DB9 connectors of Octopus
Cable with the correct wired RS232 cables.
4. Installing the PCI I/O Adapter
Pin 1, 4, 8 are set at “DIS”, so they won’t have power
