Serial Ports
All serial (COM) ports can be custom configured in either standard mode or powered mode. By
repositioning the jumpers (provided) on the system board and on the COM port PCI add-in card (some
models), each COM power can achieve power on pin 1 or pin 9. The illustration and table below
indicate the COM port assignments and voltage supported for each COM port.
