Introduction

The StarTech.com 4-Port ExpressCard to RS232 Serial Adapter Card

adds four DB9 RS232 serial ports to a laptop or ExpressCard enabled

desktop computer system. Based on a single-chip architecture (as opposed

to cards that use a “bridge chip”), thus providing native PCI Express

communication for greater performance and reliability, as well as reduced

power consumption and a CPU load reduction of up to 48%. Compatible

with ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 card slots, this card includes a

stabilizer bracket for greater security while installed in 54mm slots.

Installation

Hardware Installation

The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any

compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks

into place. To eject the card, simply push the card further into the slot until

it clicks, and then release and it will then be automatically ejected from the

slot.

NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not ﬁrmly hold an ExpressCard/34

card so the 34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be necessary.
