INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Manhattan ® Serial PCI Card with 5 V Power Output,
Model 175586.
Compatible with most RS232 peripherals, the Manhattan Serial PCI Card with 3.3
V and 5 V Power Output includes an adapter that can attach up to four independent
serial devices — modems, barcode scanners, printers and more — through a
single PCI card. Ideal for point-of-sale applications, it helps eliminate separate
peripheral power supplies, reduce clutter and improve reliability. Its high-speed
16C550 UART serial DB9 Com ports fully support PCI IRQ sharing even if
accessed simultaneously to help save valuable resources for other expansion
cards.
By following the instructions in this user manual — or the simpler setup procedure
in the printed quick install guide included with the product — you’ll soon be enjoying
these popular features:
• Adds 4 high-speed 16C950 UART serial DB9 Com ports to desktop computers
• Each port features individually controlled 5 V DC operation
• Up to 460 kbps throughput
• Fan-out cable reduces loss, tangles and clutter
