Overview
The SyncLink PCIe Serial Adapter is an add-in card for systems with PCI Express expansion slots. The card
provides two serial ports for use by the system. A variety of serial protocols and interface standards are
supported. Refer to the software documentation included with the card for details on using the card for
specific applications.
For compatibility the SyncLink PCIe identifies as a SyncLink GT2 when used with older drivers. The latest
drivers identify the card as SyncLink PCIe and enable new features.

PCI Express
PCI Express is an expansion slot standard for adding components to a system. PCI Express is not
compatible with PCI or PCI-X slots. SyncLink cards are keyed to prevent insertion into incompatible slots.
The SyncLink PCIe is a x1 (single lane) card and is compatible with any of the different PCI Express slots
sizes (x1, x4, x8, or x16). PCI Express x1 slots are the shortest and x16 slots are the longest.
