Review on πŸ”Œ I/O Crest RS-232 DB9 Series 8x Serial PCI-E Card with 8 Ports and XR17V358 Chipset by Ken Reiff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth it for those who need lots of daisy chain connections

Works very well. Use this on a 2U server to connect to multiple other servers and UPS. I had some trouble getting it to work on Linux (Debian), but after some tweaking it worked. It's incredibly nice to be able to centralize the connection and be able to write your own code on that server to interact with the entire infrastructure. Mainly use this to provide SSH and easily send commands to multiple servers.

Pros
  • Sleep mode with wake up indicator
Cons
  • I'll add later
