It's used to connect to a serial device to a computer. The term "serial board" usually refers to an electronic printed circuit board that can be plugged into a computer, in order to attach an external device via a serial interface. In the past, the most common type of serial interface was RS-232, this was used to connect all kinds of devices to computers, most notably modems. These days, RS-232 has been replaced by USB, which stands for Universal Serial Bus.
