Connecting Peripherals; Using Peripheral Devices - Sharp PC-AR10 Manual

Connecting Peripherals

This chapter describes how to connect your computer to peripheral devices using the
input/output ports on the edges of your computer. To ensure correct operation,
follow the instructions given in this chapter, and always read the instructions given
with the peripheral device as well.

Using Peripheral Devices

You can connect and use the peripheral devices shown in the overview on the
following page. As these devices are manufactured by a third-party, it is a good idea
to verify that they operate correctly when connected to your computer before you
purchase them. Your computer vendor can probably recommend reliable brands that
are compatible with your system.
Be sure to turn off the computer and the peripheral device before
connecting them (except when connecting USB devices, IEEE
1394 devices or inserting PC cards).
Some devices have to be turned on after the computer is turned
on.
Some devices require special drivers or other software before
they operate correctly.
Connecting Peripheral Guidelines
1. Turn off the computer and the peripheral device (except when connecting a
USB device, IEEE 1394 device, or inserting a PC card).
2. Connect the cable from the peripheral device into the appropriate I/O port of the
computer. If the cable has locking screws, tighten them.
3. Turn on the peripheral device and then turn on the computer.
