Brea, California USA, July 26, 2006 - MOXA'S PCI Express serial boards were recently approved by Microsoft's WHQL. This means that the boards meet the "Designed for Windows XP, Windows XP x64, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 x64 standard," and the "Designed for Microsoft Windows" logo is printed on the boards themselves. In fact, MOXA is the first brand of PCI Express board to receive Windows' 64-bit platform WHQL certification for multiport serial boards. Three models of MOXA PCI Express board are currently available: CP-118EL (8-port RS-232/422/485), CP-168EL (8-ports RS-232), and CP-104EL (4-ports RS-232).
All three boards fit any of the PCI Express slots (x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16), and provide serial communication speed up to 921.6 Kbps, 128-byte FIFO, low profile size, on-chip hardware and software flow control, and 15 KV ESD surge protection.
