Serial Interface; Usb Interface; Serial Port 1 And Serial Port 2 I/O Addresses - NEC POWERMATE 5100 Service Manual

Parallel interface signals are output through the system board's 25-pin,
D-subconnector. The connector is located at the back of the system unit. Pin
assignments for the parallel interface connector are included at the end of this
section.

Serial Interface

The system has two 16C550 UART compatible serial ports (COM1 and COM2)
integrated on the I/O controller. The serial ports support the standard RS-232C
interface. The buffered high-speed serial ports support transfer rates up to
115.2 KB. These ports allow the installation of high-speed serial devices for
faster data transfer rates.
Sets of I/O addresses for the two channels are given in the following table (see
Section 2, "System Configuration," for interrupt levels). Soft-selectable base
addresses are 3F8h, 2F8h, 3E8h, and 2E8h.

See Section 2, "System Configuration," for information on resetting the port
through the BIOS Setup utility. See Section 10, "Specifications," for the serial
interface specifications.
Serial interface signals are output through the system board's 9-pin,
D-subconnectors. The connectors are located at the back of the system unit. Pin
assignments for the serial interface connector are included at the end of this
section..

USB Interface

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports allow new Plug and Play serial devices to
be added without having to open the system. One USB device may be plugged
into each USB port for direct system connection. With a hub and the proper
cabling, up to 127 USB devices can be addressed by the system. The USB
determines system resources for each peripheral and assigns them without user
intervention. Boot support for a USB keyboard is present so the system can be
booted with a USB keyboard instead of a standard keyboard.
