Note

Distinguish between crossover cables and straight-through cables by comparing the connection ends. On a straight-through cable, the wire order matches; on a crossover cable, the first three of the four wires are in reverse order.

6a. How do I install the parallel port hardware key block?

The parallel port hardware key block must be installed in the parallel (printer) port. The side to be attached to the port is labeled COMPUTER, with arrows pointing in the direction of the computer. Screws are provided to connect the key block securely to the port. If the computer is close to a wall or other obstacle, you can attach an extension cable to the port, then attach the hard- ware key block to the cable. Use a straight-through, 25-pin, male-to-female cable.

If the hardware key block is not recognized once you have booted the system, and the serial number and activation code are both entered cor- rectly, make sure that your system’s parallel port is set to the values below.
