P588U card is eight RS232 serial port card.

== Cabling / Connectors ==

Generally you can have R804 cable to work with this UPCI card to support eight DB9 male connector. Or you can use R801 cable to support eight DB25 male connector.

== Options ==

For people need to support RS422 or RS485 interface to replace RS232 interface. They can use P8485U card to support eight RS422/RS485 serial ports in one card. Or they can use R803 cable to connect with RS4232-8 box. Then they can have eight ground isolated RS422/RS485 interface.

For SCO Openserver UNIX user P588U card is one of the cheapest way to add extra eight TTY device connection.

== User ==

For DOS and WIN95/98/Me/2000/NT/XP/2003 user P588U card is one of the cheapest way to add extra eight COM serial port.

== Driver ==

For Linux user P588U card can support RedHat , Slackware, Suse new 2.6.x kernel system.

== Differences ==

[http://www.acceed.com/p588u P588U] is the universal PCI or 3,3V variant of [http://www.acceed.com/p588 P588]

		+
		+	There are two alternatives for using P588U on Linux systems without installing the supplied Rayon driver. Both methods use Linux standard tty driver (which is normally limited to 4 ports only):

		+	Method A:
		+
		+	1. Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to add one more boot parameter: 8250.nr_uarts=16
