Configuring the I/O connectivity base's powered serial ports

The serial ports can be configured as standard (non-powered) serial ports or powered serial ports. Some
devices use a powered serial port. If the serial port is configured as a powered port, devices that support a
powered serial interface do not require an external power source.
IMPORTANT:
NOTE: The I/O connectivity base ships with all serial ports configured in standard non-powered serial mode
(0 volts) by default.
There are three voltage settings for each serial port.
● 0 volts
● 5 volts
● 12 volts
To change the voltage settings for a powered serial port:
Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long
The system must be powered off before connecting or disconnecting serial port devices.
