P arallel-Port Interface
1 3 B
The coolMONSTER/PM incorporates an IBM XT/AT compatible parallel port. It supports uni-directional,
bi-directional, EPP and ECP operating modes.

7 1 B
The parallel port is available through connector X11 (26 pins). To have the signals available on a
standard, parallel-interface connector DSUB-25, an adapter cable is required, which is available from
KONTRON (KAB-DSUB25-1, Part Number 96015-0000-00-0).
The following table shows the pin-out as well as necessary connections for a DSUB-25 adapter.

Notes: (*)To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that:
-- the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current
-- the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire-protecting requirements of IEC/EN 60950.
To find the location of the parallel port, please see the Appendix E: Connector Layout chapter.

C onfiguration
7 2 B
The parallel-port mode, I/O addresses, and IRQs are changeable from the BIOS Setup Utility. You can
program the base I/O-address 378h (default), 3BCh or 278h. You can set the parallel port mode to
disable, enable or AUTO (default). You can choose IRQ5 or IRQ7 as the parallel-port interrupt.
Refer to the I/O Device Configuration Submenu in the Appendix B: BIOS Operation chapter for additional
information on configuration.
