Motherboard Description

1.7.3 Serial and Parallel Interface Ports

This system comes equipped with two serial ports and one parallel port.

Both types of interface ports will be explained in this chapter.

The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an

asynchronous communication port. Mice, printers, modems and other

peripheral devices can be connected to a serial port. The serial port can

also be used to connect your computer with another computer system. If

you wish to transfer the contents of your hard disk to another system it can

be accomplished by using each machine's serial port.

The serial ports on this system have two 9-pin connectors. Some older

computer systems and peripherals used to be equipped with only one

25-pin connector. Should you need to connect your 9-pin serial port to an

older 25-pin serial port, you can purchase a 9-to-25 pin adapter.
