Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PEX2S952PW 2 Port PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with Power Output

turns a PCI Express slot into 2 RS-232 (DB9) serial connections and the ports provide

power output to your devices.

Suitable for many RS232 powered serial applications, and including both low and full

prole brackets, the selectable 5V or 12V power option is able to output using pin 1,

4, 8 or 9, allowing you to congure the card to suit the requirements of your powered

RS232 devices.

The PCI express serial card is based on a native single chip design, that allows you

to harness the full capability of PCI Express (PCIe) - providing optimum reliability

and speed while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over

conventional (bridge chip) serial cards.

Instruction Manual

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.

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. Gently 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 prole system, replacing the

pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may

be necessary.

Instruction Manual

5. Connect an LP4 Molex power connector from the computer power supply, to the
