Description
Quatech RS-232 UPCI boards
completely meet the PCI 2.3 specification for Universal connectivity
and Low Profile boards, as well as all other aspects of the
specification so that you can be certain that every Quatech
Universal PCI board will function properly and perform reliably in
your system. Serial port connection are made via an onboard DB-9
male port for single port models, and via included cables providing
two, four, or eight DB-9 male connectors for multiport boards.
The new Low Profile PCI footprint
was designed to provide greater flexibility for embedded systems,
thin-clients, and desktop and server environments. The boards are
mechanically similar to standard PCI boards, but use a shorter board
and a different mounting bracket. They are designed to fit into
systems as low as 3.350" without using riser cards. The boards
are built on 32-bit addressing, and can be used in standard PCI
backplanes or with specialized Low Profile PCI brackets. Quatech's
RS-232 boards are built using the smallest (MD1) Low Profile board
specification, which allows them to be used in even the smallest
size systems without riser cards.
PCI 2.3 requires that all plug-in
cards support 3.3V signaling. However, many systems still use 5V
signaling. To accommodate both system types, Quatech Low Profile
boards also use a Universal PCI connector compatible with both 3.3V
and 5V signaling. This means that they can be used with current
equipment, and will not need to be replaced as systems are upgraded.
It also means that a single serial board solution can be used across
a diverse network comprised of many different types of computer.
