Product Description:
The RocketPort uPCI Octa/DB9 serial port expansion card is compatible
with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides
eight "native" serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI card
slot. The serial ports with DB9 connectors support RS-232 serial
communications at speeds up to 460 Kbps. RocketPort products are
designed with larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those available
in a standard 16550 UART found in standard PC serial ports and low-end
serial cards, enabling them to handle the transmission of large amounts
of data reliably and efficiently. They also utilize an on-board 36MHz
processor, minimizing host CPU utilization. RocketPort products do not
require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation and
eliminating conflicts with other server cards. Drivers are available
for popular operating systems. The product is fully compliant with the
RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
