Adding External Peripheral Devices

You can add external peripheral devices to the system in several ways:
u
Connect a modem, printer, or other serial (RS-232 compatible) device to a serial port.
Two serial ports are provided. Use cables with 9-pin DB9 connectors. For a cable with
a 25-pin DB25 connector, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
u
Connect a printer or another parallel (Centronics compatible) device to the parallel port.
Use a cable with 25-pin DB25 connectors.
u
Connect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device to a USB port (only on a system running
Windows 95; Windows NT 4.0 does not currently support USB peripherals). Two USB
ports are provided.
u
On a system equipped with a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapter, connect
SCSI devices to the SCSI port on the adapter. Use a cable with standard 68-pin SCSI
connectors. See the documentation delivered with the adapter, and "Adding SCSI
Peripheral Devices" later in this chapter.
u
On a system equipped with an PC Card adapter, insert one or more PC Card devices in
the optional PC Card adapter. You can insert two Type I, Type II, and Type III PC Card
devices in the adapter. Use only Exchangeable Architecture (ExCA) PC Card devices.
See Chapter 4, "Operating Notes," and the documentation delivered with the PC Card
adapter for more information.
u
On a system equipped with a multimedia keyboard, see the documentation delivered
with the keyboard for information on connecting the keyboard's microphone and
speakers to the system's sound card, and for information on connecting an external
microphone, headphones, or external speakers to the keyboard. For more information,
see Chapter 1, "Setting Up the Hardware."
See Chapter 1, "Setting Up the Hardware," to locate ports on the back of the base unit.
All ports and cables are keyed or molded to make connecting the cables easy. If you
encounter difficulty connecting a cable, ensure that you are aligning the cable connector
correctly with the port.
CAUTION If you do not use Intergraph cables, use shielded cables to prevent excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI). Intergraph cables are designed to reduce the amount of EMI produced by
the system.
