Hardware Installation
Serial (COM) Connector
X
The system board is equipped with a 9-pin connector for connecting
an external serial port. The serial port cable is an optional item and
must be purchased separately. Insert the connector that is attached
to the serial port cable to the 9-pin connector (J8) then install the
serial port bracket to an available bracket slot at the rear of the
system chassis. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is
aligned with pin 1 of the connector.
The serial port is an RS-232 asynchronous communication port with
16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with modems, serial
printers, remote display terminals, and other serial devices.
BIOS Setting
Configure the serial port in the Integrated Peripherals submenu
(“Super IO Device” section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for
more information.
