Serial Interfaces

The Super I/O (SCH3114I-NU) chip provides the circuitry for the two serial ports. The Super I/O chip
provides serial port 1 through a standard DB9 connector (CN17) and serial port 2 through a 10-pin header

(CN8). The two serial ports support the following features:

Four individual 16550-compatible UARTs

Programmable word length, stop bits and parity

16-bit programmable baud rate generator

Interrupt generator

Loop-back mode

Four individual 16-bit FIFOs

Serial Interface

Serial Port 1 (COM0) supports RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 and full modem support

Serial Port 2 (COM1) supports RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 and full modem support

To implement the two-wire RS-485 mode on serial ports 1 or 2, you must tie the equivalent pins together for
the selected port.

For example, on Serial Port 2, tie pin 3 to 5 and pin 4 to 6 on the Serial 2 (COM1) interface header as shown

in

Figure 3-1

. As an alternate, tie pin 2 to 3 and pin 7 to 8 on the DB9 connector for serial port 1 (COM0) as

shown in

Figure 3-1

. Refer to

Table 3-4

for the specific pin signals of serial port 2. The corresponding pins

on the DB9 serial 1 connector are also available in

Table 3-4

NOTE

The RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 modes are selected in BIOS Setup under the
Advanced/Super I/O Configuration menu However, the RS-232 mode is the
default (Standard) for any serial port.

RS-485 mode termination is selected with jumper header JP2 (COM0), and JP3
(COM1), when the RS-485 mode is selected in BIOS Setup.
