Installation
DIP Switch Settings
To change the DB9 Serial Ports between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, use the
respective Serial Mode Switch located on the Serial Card. Dip Switch 3
enables/ disables a 120 Ω Termination Resistor, used for impedance matching
between the Tx+/Tx- and Rx+/Rx- (RS-422/RS-485 4-wire) and D+/D- (RS-485
2-wire) lines. The purpose is to prevent reflections on the line that may
cause signal errors.
Install the Card
Note: If the PCIe Card is to be installed into a Small Form Factor or
Low-Profile Desktop, it’s required to replace the pre-installed Full-Profile
Bracket with the included Low-Profile Brackets. The DB9 Serial Ports that use
Ribbon Cables will need to be installed on the separate Low-Profile Brackets.
-
Turn off the Computer and disconnect the Power Cable and any Peripheral Devices that are connected (e.g. printers, external hard drives, etc.).
