Two serial ports with DB-9 connectors
The HP KH887AA is a PCI plug-in card that adds two high-performance serial ports to compatible point-of-sale systems. Each port uses a DB-9 connector and can supply either 5 volts or 12 volts of power independently. This design lets you connect powered RS-232 peripherals such as receipt printers or barcode scanners without individual power bricks. It is built for the HP rp3000 and rp5700 point-of-sale systems as well as the HP rp5700 desktop PC.
Simple PCI installation with no extra cables
Install the card into an available PCI slot on the supported system and the operating system recognises it immediately. Plug-and-play operation means no driver discs or manual configuration are required for basic use. The only common issue is attempting to fit the card into a PCIe-only slot or a low-profile chassis without the correct bracket, which will prevent the card from seating properly. Ensure the host system has a standard PCI slot and enough bracket clearance before starting.
Verify PCI slot and system model before ordering
Confirm that your target machine is an HP rp3000 or rp5700 point-of-sale system, or an HP rp5700 desktop PC, as compatibility is limited to those models. Check the motherboard for a free legacy PCI slot, not PCIe, because the card uses the PCI interface. Also verify that the chassis can accept a full-height bracket so the DB-9 ports are accessible at the rear. If any of these conditions are not met, the card will not install or function.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the KH887AA card is functioning after installing it in my rp5700?
Open Device Manager on the rp5700 and confirm two new COM ports appear without error codes; then connect a powered RS-232 device to each DB-9 port and check that it receives 5 V or 12 V as configured.
What comes with the KH887AA and what must I source separately?
The box contains the PCI plug-in card with two DB-9 ports; cables, serial peripherals and any mounting brackets for the rp3000 or rp5700 chassis are not included.
Which version of the KH887AA should I choose for an HP rp3000 Point of Sale System?
The single KH887AA model is validated for both the rp3000 and rp5700 systems; select it when you need two powered RS-232 ports on a PCI slot.
