Please confirm in your PC documentation that your edge‐connector is actually PCI Express Mini Card compliant before installing this, or any, mPCIe card. Damage might occur if you install an mPCIe device into a computer that only supports mSATA. mPCIe defines mounting holes for securing the otherwise loose end of the card, so it is impossible for these cards to wiggle or flap themselves loose (which was a recurring problem with the older PCI Mini devices). Eliminating this concern for PCI Express Mini Cards is a major reason this standard has seen rapid adoption by the Data Acquisition and Control industry. The mPCIe standard, like its PCI Mini Card predecessor, was designed assuming use primarily in Laptop or Notebook and similar devices, where physical dimension is often the paramount design pop the front of the cable connector upwards to disengage the constraint.

See the Specification section of this document for dimension details. Although the UARTs provided by this card are fully 16550/16950 compatible, the advanced features are best enabled by using the provided software drivers. CHAPTER 6: I/O INTERFACE The card installs ports into the OS as standard serial COM devices. This card provides one 5‐pin latching Hirose DF57 connector per Therefore, in each OS or programming environment, standard RS232 port. The mating connector is the Hirose DF57H‐5S‐1.2C. COM APIs are used to communicate. For example, in the .NET Common Language Runtime you would use the methods provided by the System.IO.Ports namespace. In Linux, the ttySn device controls port n. Other operating systems have similar, OS‐specific, standard methods of communication with RS232 devices. Various sample programs are provided to demonstrate application programming of the serial ports, in a variety of popular programming languages. 3 manual revision B2e WinRISC is a serial port utility provided with this card.
