1	parallel	Connect a parallel device, such as a printer, to the parallel connector. If
	connector	you have a USB printer, plug it into a USB connector.
		NOTE: The integrated parallel connector is automatically disabled if the
		computer detects an installed card containing a parallel connector
		configured to the same address. For more information, see System Setup
		Options .

2	link integrity	• Green — A good connection exists between a 10-Mbps network and
	light	the computer.
		• Orange — A good connection exists between a 100-Mbps network
		and the computer.
		• Yellow — A good connection exists between a 1-Gbps (or 1000-
		Mbps) network and the computer.
		• Off — The computer is not detecting a physical connection to the
		network.

3	network	To attach your computer to a network or broadband device, connect one
	adapter	end of a network cable to either a network jack or your network or
	connector	broadband device. Connect the other end of the network cable to the
		network adapter connector on the back panel of your computer. A click
		indicates that the network cable has been securely attached.
		NOTE: Do not plug a telephone cable into the network connector.
		On computers with a network connector card, use the connector on the
		card.
		It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and connectors for your
		network. If you must use Category 3 wiring, force the network speed to
		10 Mbps to ensure reliable operation.

4	network	Flashes a yellow light when the computer is transmitting or receiving
	activity light	network data. A high volume of network traffic may make this light appear
		to be in a steady "on" state.

5	line-out	Use the green line-out connector to attach headphones and most
	connector	speakers with integrated amplifiers.
		On computers with a sound card, use the connector on the card.

6	line-in	Use the line-in connector to attach a record/playback device such as a
	connector	cassette player, CD player, or VCR.
		On computers with a sound card, use the connector on the card.

7	USB 2.0	Use the back USB connectors for devices that typically remain connected,
	connectors	such as printers and keyboards.

		NOTE: If you purchased an optional graphics card, this connector will be
		covered by a cap. Do not remove the cap. Connect your monitor to the
		connector on the graphics card.
		NOTE: If you are using a graphics card that supports dual monitors, use
		the y-cable that came with your computer.

9	serial	Connect a serial device, such as a handheld device, to the serial port. The
	connector	default designations are COM1 for serial connector 1 and COM2 for serial
