Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
RS-232 I/O series, a line of PCI Express Multi-port Serial
Communication Board, is designed to meet PCI Express Base
Specification Ver2.0. It can be installed in virtually any available PC
system and compatible with all major operating systems. Users do not
need to manually set jumpers to configure I/O addresses and IRQ
locations. Besides this board supports 5VDC or 12VDC of power from
each serial port via 1/4/8/9 pin output. It’s convenient for users
connecting serial devices without addition external power supply.
This board offer independent serial ports for connecting terminals,
modems, printers, scanners, cash registers, bar code readers, keypads,
numeric displays, electrical scales, data acquisition equipment, and other
serial devices for the PC and compatible systems. This board offers a
reliable and high performance solution for serial multi-port
communications.

Chapter 2: Getting Started
2.1 Hardware Installation
1. Turn off the power to your computer.
2. Unplug the power cord and remove your computer’s cover.
3. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCIe slot.
4. To install the card, carefully align the card’s bus connector with the
selected PCIe slot on the motherboard. Push the board down firmly.
5. Replace the slot bracket’s holding screw to secure the card.
6. Secure the computer cover and reconnect the power cord.
Power for the Powered RS-232 DB9 connectors are supplied from 4-pin
connector located on the PCB. this connectors allows a PC CD-ROM
type power supply connector to provide the higher currents required by
the power peripherals.
In order to get efficient intake current output, there is one set of 4-pin
power connector designed on the board. The 4-pin power set draws both
+12VDC and +5VDC power output for powered RS-232 device using.

MN2000000225 Page 7
Note: If system’s power supply cannot provide the efficient power to
serial devices, it will cause your PC system unstable or unexpected
reboot.
2.2 Pin Assignment
The 2-ports RS-232 PCIe Card has a female DB44 connector on the
board. In this section, we give the on-board connector’s pin assignments
to facilitate making your own connection cable, and the male DB9
device-side pin assignments for the fan out cable.

2.3 Jumper Settings
This powered RS-232 board supports DC power output to device feature.
You can select +5V or +12VDC power output to serial device over DB
1st, 4th, 8th and 9th pin. Please follow the jumper settings before using
each COM port.
CAUTION
1. Be sure to confirm your serial device power voltage sourcing
and pin number to prevent any further problem.
2. Before plugging this board into your system, please carefully
check the power output jumper setting and hardware installation
steps to prevent any damages.
3. Wrong operating damages connected serial device.
4. DO NOT cross the jumper settings over different pin define.

You can read below silkscreen print on the PCB. Each COM port has
four jumper settings for the 1/4/8/9 pin for DB9 male connector. You can
select standard RS-232 signal (system default), +5VDC, or +12VDC
power output on the assigned pin.
