DB9 male connector has an option to supply DC power to its Pin-9.
Pin number 9 of the DB9 connector was defined for RS232 RI (Ring
Indicator) signal. Since some applications do NOT use this signal, in
this case, Pin-9 can be used to deliver DC power for the serial
devices. This product provides 2 settings for the power, +5V and
+12V. The default factory setting was set at “RI”, i.e. no power
supplied on the DB9M connector’s pin-9.

JP2 – 5V and 12V Power Source Selection Jumper: To supply power
to Pin-9 of each DB9 connector, you need +5V and +12V power
source. Both can be selected from either PCI golden fingers or
from J2 AUX Power connector instead. If you select from J2, then
you need connect a power cable to connect it to your system
power supply.

please move the jumper to “+5V” instead.

Note:
PLEASE DO NOT LET WINDOWS AUTO SEARCH THE DRIVERS ON THE CD, it
will cause problems because the INF files will be conflict in this case.
Instead, please browse to the correct location (folder) manually to
make sure the correct drivers are chosen and installed correctly.
