Using the serial ports

If you have a printer, a modem, or a mouse with a serial

interface, you can

connect

it to one

of the serial (RS-232C) ports

on the back of the computer. Make

sure you have a cable

compatible with a

DB-9P

connector.

To connect a serial device, insert the connector into one of the ports marked COM1 and COMC. If you are connecting only one serial device, use the COM1 port.

1.Plug the power cord into the power inlet on the back of the computer.

WARNING

To avoid an electric shock, be sure to plug the cord into the computer before plugging it into the wall outlet.

2.Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
