To connect a serial device

The computer includes a standard 9-pin serial port that you can use to connect devices
such as external modems and fax modems. If needed, you can set the serial port's address
in the BIOS Setup utility.
Connect the device's serial cable to the computer's serial port.

To connect an infrared device

Your computer includes an infrared port—located below the volume control on the right
side of the computer—which provides wireless, serial communication between the
computer and other infrared devices such as printers or other computers.
By default, the infrared port is not enabled, so you must enable it before you can use it.
Enable the infrared port in the BIOS Setup utility—see "To run the BIOS Setup
utility" on page 148.
