• Supports 5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits
• Supports 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits
• Operating temperature range from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius
• Storage temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius
• Physical dimensions of 125 mm width and 39 mm depth
• Weight of 200 g
• CE and FCC certified

How to use

To install the adapter, power down your computer, unplug it from the power source, and open the system case. Insert the adapter firmly into an available PCI or PCI-X slot on the motherboard and secure the bracket to the chassis. Close the case, reconnect the power, and boot up the system. The operating system should automatically detect the hardware using Plug-and-Play functionality. Install the appropriate drivers for your specific operating system version if prompted, and then connect your RS-232 serial peripherals to the 9-pin or 25-pin ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your computer motherboard has an available PCI or PCI-X slot
• Check that your operating system version is compatible with the adapter drivers
• Confirm the physical dimensions to ensure adequate space inside your computer chassis
• Determine whether your connected devices require power over the serial port

Usage recommendations

Ensure the computer system is completely powered off and disconnected from the mains electricity before attempting to install or remove the adapter to prevent hardware damage.
