Page 20: Serial And Parallel Interface Ports
Chapter 1 Motherboard Description 1.5 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: COM1/COM2 The serial interface port is sometimes referred to as an RS-232 port or an asynchronous communication port. - Page 21 Chapter 1 Motherboard Description Connectivity The serial ports can be used in many ways, and it may be necessary to become familiar with the pinout diagram. The following chart gives you the function of each pin on the 9-pin connector and some of the 25-pin connector. This information can be used when configuring certain software programs to work with the serial ports.
- Page 22 Chapter 1 Motherboard Description Parallel Interface Ports Unlike the serial ports, parallel interface port has been standardized and should not present any difficulty interfacing peripherals to your system. Sometimes called Centronics port, the parallel port is almost exclusively used with printers. The parallel port on your system has a 25-pin, DB25 connector (see picture below).
