StarTech.com 1 Port Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16550 UART PEX1S553 User Manual

The PEX1S553 PCI Express Serial adapter card allows you to turn a PCI Express slot into an RS232 (DB9)
serial connection. The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full
capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over
conventional bridge chip serial cards.

The PCI Express (RS232) Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems including
Windows® 2000/XP/2003/Vista™/Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 (32 and 64 bit), Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and up, as
well as MAC OS X 10.4 and above. The adapter card includes an optional half-height/low profile bracket, that
lets you add a serial port to virtually any computer, regardless of the case form factor.

This product is a replacement for our PEX1S552 card.
