Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com 16950 PCI Serial card. The latest in Plug and

Play expansion cards, this high-speed serial card provides your computer with four

16C950 UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) RS-232 serial ports

(varies by model). You can connect any 9-pin external serial device such as a modem,

mouse, or ISDN adapter to your system and enjoy speeds of up to 15 Mbits/sec

(asynchronous mode) or 60 Mbits/sec (isochronous) mode. This 32-bit, 33MHz PCI card

is also backwards compatible with UART versions to ensure compatibility with a wide

range of serial peripherals.

Features

•Provides four 16C950 UART RS-232 serial ports

•Buffers up to 128 bytes for FIFO receiving/transmitting

•Fully adjustable IRQ trigger levels

•Automated flow-control to prevent UART overrun

•Backward compatible with 16C450, 16C550, 16C650, and 16C750 UARTs

•Complies with PCI Bus specification 2.2, Power Management 1.0, and Plug and Play

specifications

•Backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty

Before You Begin

To ensure a quick and easy card installation, please read through this section carefully

before attempting to install the card.

System Requirements

•An IBM PC running Windows XP/2000/ME/98/95 or NT4.0

•An available PCI slot

•ACD-ROM or other compatible optical drive (for driver installation)

WARNING! PCI 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 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 card

by its edges and not the gold connectors.
