Introduction The PCI2S4851050 2 Port PCI RS422/485 Serial Adapter Card with 161050 UART adds two DB9 RS422/RS485 serial ports using a single PCI expansion slot. The serial card offers a high performance 16C1050 UART and is compliant with PCI 2.3 local bus specifications. An efficient single-chip design and a large 256-byte transit/receive FIFO buffer work together to provide high-speed serial communication while reducing the overall load on the CPU.
Installation WARNING! PCI cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or touching your PCI card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
