Serial Por t
The built-in serial por ts 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 select the serial ports' I/O address in the Integrated
Peripherals submenu of the BIOS.
Connecting the Serial Ports
The GIC68-N system board is equipped with an onboard serial
port (CN3 - Teal/Turquoise) for COM 1. It is also equipped with
three 9-pin connectors at locations J4, J8 and J10 for COM 2, COM
3 and COM 4 respectively.
The GIC68-B system board is equipped with 1 onboard serial por t
(CN3 - Teal/Turquoise) for COM 1 and a 9-pin connector at
location J4 for COM 2 serial port.
Card-edge brackets, mounted with serial port cables, are provided
with the system board. Install the card-edge bracket to the system
chassis then insert the connector that is attached to the serial por t
cable to the appropriate connector on the system board. Make sure
the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned with pin 1 of the
