Introduction

The PEX4S553 4-Port Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16550 UART

lets you add 4 RS232 (DB9) serial ports using a single PCI Express slot.

Based on a native single chip design, this 4-port serial adapter card allows you to

harness the full capability oered by PCI Express (PCIe), and reducing the load applied

to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge-chip serial cards.

The RS232 Serial Adapter Card includes 4 half-height/low prole brackets allowing the

card to be installed into almost any PC case, regardless of form factor.

• 1 x PCI Express Serial Card

• 1 x Full Prole Bracket with two DB9 connectors

• 4 x Low Prole Bracket

• 1 x Driver CD

• 1 x Instruction Manual

System Requirements

Instruction Manual 2

Installation

WARNING! PCI Express 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 Express 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. Also be

careful to handle the PCI Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.

Hardware Installation

1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,

external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power

supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.

2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer

system for details.

3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the

computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.). Note

that this card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).

4. A second expansion card slot cover will need to be removed to accommodate the

second expansion bracket for the card.

5. Connect the two 10-pin IDC connectors from the second expansion

bracket to the headers on the card. The headers are marked with

an arrow on the board to indicate where the red wire on the cable

should be located.

6. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear

of the case. Fasten the second expansion bracket for the card to the other open

expansion card slot.

NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the

pre-installed full prole brackets with the included low prole installation brackets

may be necessary. 4 adjacent low prole expansion card slots will be required in the

computer chassis/case.

7. Place the cover back onto the computer case.

8. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other

connectors removed in Step 1.
