This is a 2-port serial PCI-Express card designed for adding serial communication capabilities to a computer system. It uses the MCS9901 chipset and is ideal for users who need to connect legacy serial devices or industrial equipment that relies on RS-232 communication. The card is compatible with PCI-Express slots and provides a reliable way to expand connectivity options on systems that lack built-in serial ports. It is commonly used in environments such as industrial automation, telecommunications, and embedded systems where serial communication is still required.
The card supports standard RS-232 serial communication and offers stable performance for data transfer between devices. It is designed to work with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and other OS variants that support PCI device drivers. The MCS9901 chipset ensures compatibility with modern motherboards while maintaining backward compatibility with older serial devices. This makes it a versatile solution for both new and legacy systems requiring serial connectivity.
Installation involves inserting the card into an available PCI-Express slot on the motherboard and securing it with a screw. No additional power connectors are required, as it draws power directly from the PCI-Express slot. The card typically comes with a driver CD or downloadable drivers for easy setup. Users should ensure their system has the appropriate drivers installed to fully utilize the card's capabilities.
This card is particularly useful in scenarios where connecting devices like modems, industrial sensors, or legacy peripherals is necessary. It allows users to maintain compatibility with older hardware without the need for additional adapters or converters. However, it does not support newer communication standards like USB or Ethernet, so it is best suited for environments where RS-232 remains the primary communication protocol.
