TheIlluminate Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 So I have a r730xd and I needed to add a couple USB ports so I grabbed PCIe To USB Card. I've got 2 USB to serial adapters attached to it and I just need to ask the stupid question. How do I find what tag they are associated with as they go to my two MD1200s for fan control. I had this working on my previous setup so I know the cables are good. I'm just wondering if theres a driver or something I need to install or how do I find the tags. On the last one it was set to /dev/ttyUSB1. Appreciate it guys and I hope you can help me. Quote Link to comment

SimonF Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Which os vers are you running? I would expect the usb serial adpaters to show in lsusb. Are you able to try on a port not on pci card to see if they show? Quote Link to comment
TheIlluminate Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 I'm running 6.12.4. I can try real quick. Give me a minute Quote Link to comment
TheIlluminate Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think its that one. On a side note how do i translate info from that in to figuring out what goes here: /dev/ttyS1 Quote Link to comment

TheIlluminate Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Honestly didn't even think to check for that...well crap. Sorry for the stupid question and thanks. You wouldn't happen to know a PCI to USB card that actually works would you? Quote Link to comment
