Serial Port Connectors
Serial ports are used to communicate with printers,
plotters, external modems, auxiliary terminals, and other
computers. The server provides two serial ports (1 and 2).
You can add more serial ports by installing a serial adapter
in one of the expansion slots.
Serial ports transfer data
asynchronously
; they can
transmit any number of bits at any time, with no restriction
on the duration of the pauses between characters.
The serial ports transmit and receive data and commands
at a rate of 300 bits per second (bps) up to 115 200 bps.
The bits-per-second measurement is commonly referred to
as the
baud rate.
Both of the serial connectors on the server use a 9-pin,
D-shell connector.

Table 9 shows the pin-number assignments for the serial
port connectors. The pin-number assignments conform to
the industry standard.
