Parallel Printer
You can connect a standard parallel printer to the system unit. To install
the printer, you need the printer drivers and a printer cable. Use a cable
with a male 25-pin connector for connecting to the parallel port on the
back of the system unit and a Centronics
on the other end for connecting to the printer.
Refer to the printer documentation for details on installing the printer,
including driver installation and cabling instructions.
External Monitor
You can add a standard Plug and Play external monitor to the system unit.
The VGA connector on the back of the system unit supports any size NEC
®
MultiSync
monitor, NEC VistaScan™ monitor, or other
VGA-compatible monitor with a 15-pin connector.
To install the monitor, you need a power cable and a signal cable (both
are usually supplied with the unit). The signal cable must have a 15-pin
cable connector for connecting to the system unit.
Power down the system and connect the signal cable to the VGA port on
the back of the system unit and the power cable to a grounded wall outlet.
Turn on the monitor and power up the system unit. On power up, the LCD
panel automatically turns on. With this feature, you can view your
applications with the LCD panel and monitor at the same time.
See the monitor documentation for details on installing, setting up, and
adjusting the unit.

modem or a printer to the system unit. Connect the device to the serial
port on the back of the system unit. To install the device, you need the
device drivers and a serial cable with a female 9-pin connector.
Power down the system unit. Connect the device cable to the serial port
on the back of the system unit and connect the power cable to a grounded
