Product Description
The IBM 00ND487 is a modern asynchronous network adapter card designed to provide two EIA-232 (RS-232) serial ports. Unlike older adapters that might use legacy bus architectures, this card utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, which is the standard for high-speed expansion slots in contemporary servers and workstations. This ensures efficient data transfer and compatibility with modern hardware. The two RS-232 ports allow for the connection of various serial devices, such as modems, console servers, industrial equipment, or legacy peripherals that rely on serial communication. Asynchronous communication means that data is transmitted one character at a time, with start and stop bits to signal the beginning and end of each character, a common protocol for serial interfaces. This adapter is suitable for applications requiring reliable serial connectivity in environments where PCIe slots are available. It provides a straightforward way to add multiple serial ports for management, control, or data acquisition purposes, leveraging the performance and bandwidth advantages of the PCIe bus compared to older serial port technologies or bus types.
