Introduction
The PCI4S954PW 4-Port PCI Serial Card (with Power Output) turns a PCI slot into 4
RS232 (DB9) serial connections and enables compatible devices to draw power from
the serial ports.
Suitable for many RS232-powered serial applications, this PCI serial card oers a selectable
5V or 12V power option capable of power output using pin 1, 4, 8 or 9, allowing you to
congure the card to suit the requirements of your powered RS232 devices.
A exible solution for adding serial ports to full-sized, or small form factor systems,
the 4-port serial card includes both low and full prole brackets while the included
breakout cable helps to avoid cluttered connections.

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.
Jumper Conguration
Each serial port has a set of jumpers that are
used to congure the voltage and on which
pin the power is output. The ports can also
be congured to not output any power and
function as a standard serial port.
