Introduction

Printer Port

The 25-pin printer port provides a parallel interface to connect a parallel printer or pocket

network adapter. Many operating systems and software applications refer to this port as

LPT1. You can run the BIOS Setup program to change the configuration of the parallel

port to Standard or Bi-directional.

The 9-pin serial port provides a serial interface for a RS-232C device such as external serial

modem. This port is commonly referred to as COM1.

The bottom of the New Versa 2500 computer contains the release latches shown in the fol-

lowing figure. Pressing the release latch lets you remove the option installed in the corre-

sponding bay.

needed.
