I need to do a serial console on a KN8 SLI motherboard with no

This is a Keyspan adaptor.
Good adapter there, Mike. You made a good choice. Some other folks may
be tempted to skimp on price. The average cheap dongle on E-Bay does NOT
support RS-232 properly. They do not implement or even hook up DTR and
RTS. The code words on E-Bay seem to be "Garmin compatibility."
A small word to the wise.
