The FC 5289 and FC 5290 are 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI Express (PCIe)
adapters that can be installed in the PCIe slots. The adapters are based on the PCIe 1.1 host bus interface.
The parallel port function is not implemented on these adapters.
Each of the two universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) channels contain 128 byte
receiver-transmitter, first-in first-out (FIFO), full modem-control signaling, and standard host interrupts. If
either of the two UART interrupts are active, the host can be interrupted through a single PCI interrupt.
The two-port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports, which are connected by DB-9 connectors.
For details about slot priorities and placement rules, see the PCI adapter placement topic collection for
your system.
