Add 2 high-speed RS-232 serial ports to your low profile/small form factor computer with a PCI Express expansion slot

The PEX2S553LP low profile/half-height PCI Express Serial Card turns a PCI Express slot into two RS232 (DB9) serial connections.

The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge chip serial cards.

The PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows®; and Linux Kernel 2.6.11 to 4.11.x, and ships with a low profile/half-height bracket installed but includes an optional full profile bracket that lets you add 2 serial ports to virtually any computer (regardless of the case form factor).

This product is a replacement for our PEX2S552LP card.

Do you need a cost effective controller that provides fast access to the data on the internal server drives and without using a PCIe slot? The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter comes in a Flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor that provides a reliable, high performing SAS connectivity to the data in the server internal drives. Supported on select Gen9 servers, it features eight internal physical links and it delivers 12 Gb/s SAS performance.

The H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter provides flexibility to run as an HBA mode or simple RAID mode. When operating in simple RAID mode, it provides RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 with optional HP Secure Encryption capabilities.

Unlike the HP Smart Array Controllers, the H240ar does not offer any acceleration or support cache modules.

Features
Cost-Effective SAS Storage Connectivity

The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter comes in a Flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor that provides a basic building block for simple RAID storage solution for select HP Gen9 Servers with a Flexible Smart Array & SAS HBA slot.

Delivering up to 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity for internal hard drives it provides increased scalability, basic data protection, and flexibility for storage connectivity.

You get optimized performance and uptime for your entry-level storage requirements.

This HBA supports SAS, SATA, Solid State Drives (SSDs) and internal tape drives for increased flexibility.

Efficient and Simple Configuration, Deployment and Management

The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter and the attached internal storage devices are configured, deployed and managed by the easy to use HP Smart Storage Administrator software which is included in the intelligent provisioning capabilities of the server.

Delivers proactive service warnings and analysis based on Solid State Drive (SSD) endurance reports from the HP SmartSSD Wear Gauge utility.

Simplify the management of the attached storage pool with HP Smart Storage Administrator.

Enhanced performance for demanding applications

The QM2 expansion card allows for adding M.2 SSDs to increase the storage capacity of your Windows/Linux PC/workstation, while also boosting overall IOPS performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to the SSD to minimize application loading times. It is ideal for resource-demanding applications, such as inline video-editing, gaming and more.

Tackle performance bottlenecks

QM2 boosts performance by adding M.2 SSDs. It doesn’t occupy any 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to maximize both your storage capacity and performance.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) | PCI-Express 3.0 | PCIe x4 Slot | USB Type-A

This PCIe USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller card installs into an available PCI-Express x4 slot in your computer and enables you to upgrade your current system by adding four SuperSpeed USB-A (10Gbps) ports. The card features dual ASM3142 controllers with up to 20 Gbps of total bandwidth shared across all 4 ports.

Add Four 10 Gbps USB Type-A Ports to Your Desktop Computer

The controller card enables you to connect four USB-A Gen 2 (10 Gbps) devices to your desktop computer. The USB-A ports are ideal for connecting USB devices such as external hard drives and solid state drives or powering and syncing your mobile devices. The USB-A ports provides up to 4.5W (5V/0.9A) of power per USB port, and are backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and USB 2.0 (480 Mbsp) devices.

Note: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) is also know as USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), and USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) is also know as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 (5 Gbps).

SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Performance

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 card features dual ASMedia ASM3142 host controllers that utilizes x4 lanes of the PCIe 2.0 bus, making the card capable of speeds up to 10 Gbps on each port, and enabling fast access to high-performance devices like NVMe drives and SSDs. The controller cards support Multiple INs to reduce bandwidth loss when multiple devices are connected, even when connected through a USB Hub (Note: The USB hub must also support this feature). The card also supports UASP for improved performance with storage devices.

Wide Installation Compatibility

This add-on card includes a full-profile installation bracket ensuring you can install it into full-profile PCIe 2.0 x4 slots. For wide platform support the card is compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS. For hassle-free installation the drivers install automatically on computers running Windows 8 or higher. Works w/USB 3.2/3.0/2.0 devices

PEXUSB314A2V2 is backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free 24/5 multi-lingual North American based technical support. StarTech.com has been the IT professionals' choice for over 30 years.
