Digi AccelePort Xp 2 Port DB-9 Serial Adapter

The Digi AccelePort Xp is a universal PCI expansion card that adds two DB-9 serial ports to a PC or Unix system. An onboard 80 MHz RISC processor handles data flow independently of the host CPU. The card supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI slots for broad hardware compatibility.

Suits integrators adding legacy serial ports

The low-profile plug-in card fits standard universal PCI slots and works with PC and Unix platforms. Buyers who need more than two serial connections or a different host interface such as PCI Express should look at alternative multiport adapters. The five-year limited warranty covers the product against defects.

Universal PCI host interface

This single specification determines whether the card fits the target motherboard slot. The adapter operates in universal PCI slots using either 3.3V or 5V signalling environments. Verify the motherboard provides a compatible universal PCI slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 80 MHz RISC processor on this AccelePort Xp card draw when running continuously?

The card uses a Universal PCI slot that supplies both 3.3 V and 5 V rails, so the onboard 80 MHz RISC processor draws its operating power directly from the motherboard without an external connector.

What motherboard slot must be free to install this two-port DB-9 serial adapter?

A Universal PCI slot — compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V signalling — is required; the card will not fit in PCI-Express or legacy 5 V-only PCI slots.

Will the AccelePort Xp work in a system that still uses an older 5 V-only PCI bus?

No, the card is designed for Universal PCI (3.3 V and 5 V) and is not electrically compatible with older 5 V-only PCI slots.
