The USB-to-Serial converter used is a Silicon Labs CP2105F01-GM Single-Chip USB to Dual
UART Bridge. A respective device driver for this USB device needs to be installed on the host
computer.
The serial console COM1 of the processor connects to the BMC on the system’s motherboard
and provides Serial Over LAN (SOL) access.
The PCIE-9205 card provides one USB 2.0 host port per CPU and one USB terminal port to
access the serial console (COM port) of the card’s CPU on its faceplate.
For a Linux host to access the COM ports of the CPU through the USB terminal port, it needs to
load the
cp210x
driver. The
cp210x
driver is available at
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
For a Windows host to access the COM ports of the CPU through the USB terminal port, it
needs to install the Silicon Laboratories (silabenm)
Dual CP210x
driver. Two new COM ports will
show up in the Device Manager. CPU always uses “Enhanced” COM port.

Real Time Clock
The CPU on the PCIE-9205 card is provided with a battery backed up Real Time Clock (RTC).
The RTC’s battery backups on the PCIE-9205 are provided through backup capacitors. The
capacitor is capable to bridge the time needed to exchange the card between slots or systems.
The expected backup time provided by the capacitors is hours rather than days.
When installed in a MaxCore system, a system level battery backup is provided to all PCIE-9205
cards through a Lithium battery, if the system is not connected to any active power input.
