It allows legacy peripherals to remain connected through dedicated interfaces without requiring external USB conversion adapters. Dedicated Serial Port Featuring one external serial connection, the adapter supports compatible devices that use traditional serial communication. This is useful for specialised professional equipment, legacy peripherals and systems requiring a physical serial interface. Dual PS/2 Connections The adapter incorporates two PS/2 ports, providing dedicated connections for compatible keyboards and mice. This supports environments where traditional input devices are still required for operational or compatibility purposes. Designed for HP Workstations Developed as an HP workstation accessory, the adapter supports selected HP Z-series workstation configurations, including the HP Z4 G5 and compatible HP Z6 G5 models. Exact compatibility depends on the workstation configuration and available internal connection. Internal Installation Design The adapter uses an internal connection and mounting bracket arrangement, providing external access to its serial and PS/2 ports through the workstation chassis. This design helps integrate additional connectivity without occupying desktop space. Convenient Rear-Panel Access Once installed in a supported workstation, the adapter provides accessible connections at the rear of the computer. This allows compatible serial devices and PS/2 peripherals to be connected directly to their dedicated interfaces. Supports Existing Equipment Many professional environments continue to use equipment that relies on established serial or PS/2 connections. This adapter helps preserve access to compatible hardware when deploying or maintaining supported HP workstations. Professional Workstation Integration The adapter is suitable for workstation environments that require specialised peripheral connectivity. It supports the integration of existing input devices and serial equipment into compatible HP systems. Space-Efficient Connectivity Its internal installation design eliminates the need for a separate external adapter enclosure. The integrated bracket keeps the additional connection ports positioned with the workstation's existing rear-panel interfaces. Practical Peripheral Support With dedicated serial and PS/2 connectivity, the adapter provides a practical option for connecting compatible peripheral devices used in administration, engineering, technical operations and specialised computing applications. Reliable Physical Connections The dedicated physical interfaces provide direct wired connections for compatible peripherals. The serial interface uses a conventional DB9 connector, while the PS/2 ports accommodate supported PS/2 input devices. Installation and Compatibility Installation requires a compatible HP workstation with the appropriate internal connector and mounting location. The workstation should be powered off and disconnected from its power source before installation. Compatibility should be checked against the specific HP workstation model and configuration.
