Chapter 4 Ports and Connectors
Chapter 4
Serial (COM) Port
The system board is equipped with a 9-pin connector for connecting an external serial COM
port (COM 1). COM port 1 will vary according to JP4’s setting.
The serial COM port is RS232 asynchronous communication port with 16C550A-compatible
UARTs that can be used with modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other se-
rial devices. To connect COM 1, please refer to the following description. The serial port may
be mounted on a card-edge bracket. Install the card-edge bracket to an available slot at the
rear of the system chassis then insert the cable connector to the 9-pin connector. Make sure
the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned with pin 1 of the connector.
