Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PEX2S553B 2-Port PCI Express Serial Card w/ Breakout Cable lets you add two

RS232 serial ports using a single PCIe expansion slot. With the included break-out

cable, you can easily add two ports to a single low prole slot.

The PCIe serial card features a native single-chip design that provides optimum

reliability and speed, reducing the CPU load by up to 48% over conventional bridge-

chip serial cards - a cost-eective solution for connecting legacy serial devices to PCIe

enabled computers.

The multiport PCIe Serial Adapter includes both full and low-prole/half-height

brackets for compatibility with standard and small form factor computers, and is

compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows® 7/Server

2008 R2, 2003/Vista/XP (32 and 64 bit), Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and up, as well as MAC OS

10.5 and above.

This product is a replacement for our PEX2S552B card.

Backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Installation

WARNING! PCI Express 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 Express 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 Express card by its edges and not the gold connector.

system for details.

3. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the

computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details.). Note

4. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the bracket to the rear of

the case.
