Chapter 5. Installing Options

Installing external options

This chapter shows the various external connectors on the computer to which can be attached external options, such as external speakers, a printer, or a scanner. For some external options, additional software must be installed in addition to making the physical connection. When adding an external option, use the information in this chapter to identify the required connector, and then use the instructions that come with the option to help make the connection and install any software or device drivers that are required for the option.

Important: Before you install or remove any option, read “Safety information” on page 271. These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely.
