Installing External Serial Port Device

The notebook contains an external RS-232 serial port with a male DB-9
connector as shown in Figure 2-13. The serial ports are used to
interconnect such devices as:
External Modem
Serial Printer
Any device that uses an RS-232 interface
Caution: Never connect a parallel device to a serial port or a serial de-
vice to a parallel port or video port; this may cause damage to the note-
book and/or external device. If you are uncertain of what type
connector the external device has, refer to the technical manual for the
external device.
