Motherboard Description

1.7.4 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 one 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.
