Introduction
The PEX1S1P952 ‘1S1P’ Native PCI Express Parallel/Serial Combo Card with 16950 UART
turns a PCI Express (PCIe) slot into one RS232 (DB9) serial, and one Parallel port.
The adapter card features a native PCI Express single chip design that allows you to
take advantage of full PCI Express capability, providing improved speed and reliability
while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional serial
cards using a bridge chip design.
This 1-Port Serial 1-Port Parallel card oers compatibility with a broad range of
operating systems including Windows® (32/64-bit) and Linux, for easy integration into
mixed environments. The card also features an optional low prole/half-height bracket
that allows the card to be installed in virtually any computer case, regardless of form
factor.

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.
Setting Power Mode (Serial Port only)
This card is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth pin of the DB9
connector for devices that support power over serial. This card allows users to set the
port with 5V, 12V, or RI (no power) by setting the J2 jumper. Users can also choose to
draw the necessary power from the system power supply by connecting to the LP4
power connector.
Instruction Manual 3
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: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).
4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of
the case.
NOTE: If installing the card into a small form factor/low prole system, replacing the
pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may
be necessary. The serial port will be relocated to a second bracket, so the card will take
up two expansion card slots.
5. OPTIONAL: If supplying power from the computer system power supply, (see
“Setting Power Mode”) connect the LP4 molex plug into the card.
6. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
7. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and reconnect all other
connectors removed in Step 1.
