The printer port is the system's parallel interface
connector. Use this port to connect a parallel printer with a
25-pin connector to the system. See "Parallel Printer" in
Chapter 6 for printer connection information.
MS-DOS refers to this port as LPT1. The LPT1 assign-
ment identifies the port for software installations. See
Chapter 2 for printer port settings.
These ports allow the connection of up to two RS-232C
serial devices with 9-pin connectors, such as a pointing
device or a serial printer, to the system. See "RS-232C
Devices" in Chapter 6 for connection information. See
Chapter 2 for serial port settings.
The keyboard port supports a PS/2-compatible, 101-key
keyboard (in the U.S. and Canada) or a 102-key keyboard
(in the United Kingdom and Germany) with a 6-pin
miniDIN connector. Attach the keyboard that comes with
your computer to this port.
CAUTION: Always
power before connecting or disconnecting the
mouse or keyboard. Failure to do so can damage
the device or the system.
Before you attach the mouse or keyboard cable to
the appropriate port, carefully align the cable
connector with the port.
