2.7 Ports and Connectors

2.7.1 Serial Ports

The built-in serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous communication

ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with

modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial

devices. You can set the serial ports I/O address in the Integrated

Peripherals submenu of the BIOS.

Connecting the Serial Ports

The system board is equipped with an onboard serial port (J2 -

Teal/Turquoise) for COM 1 primary serial port located at the ATX

double deck ports of the board. It is also equipped with a 9-pin

connector at location J17 for COM 2 secondary serial port.
