The Equity 386 uses a DB-9P male connector, so be sure you have a
compatible cable (or an adapting cable that converts the 9-pin output
to the standard 25-pin output). To connect a serial device, follow the
same steps as above for connecting a parallel device.
You need to ensure that the serial port is set up so it functions
properly. If you are using the port for a serial printer, you need to
redirect printer output to the serial port instead of the parallel port.
You can do this in MS-DOS using the MODE or SETMODE
command (or the MENU program). See your MS-DOS Reference
Manual for instructions.

Make sure the power switch on the computer is turned off.
2.
Insert the power cord into the AC power inlet on the back panel,
as shown below. To avoid an electric shock, be sure to plug the
cord into the computer before plugging it into the wall socket.
3.

grounded electrical outlet.
