Intel MB440LX manual Connecting Peripheral Devices, Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Other Devices

Connecting Peripheral Devices

If your system normally operates without a monitor or keyboard—for example, as a network server—you must install them to configure the system. You may remove them after running the SCU. For information about running this utility, see Chapter 3, “Configuring The System,”.

Connect your keyboard, mouse, monitor, and other peripheral devices after installing all internal options and replacing the side cover. See Figure 2-1.

Warnings and Cautions

Before connecting peripheral devices to the server, observe the warnings and cautions provided for your safety on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.” Server integration should be done by a qualified technical person.

Keyboard

Insert the cable connector of a PS/2-compatible keyboard into the 6-pin miniature Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) connector on the system back panel. The keyboard port is overcurrent-protected by a 1-ampere positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor.

Mouse

Insert the cable connector of a PS/2-compatible mouse into the 6-pin miniature DIN connector on the system back panel. The mouse port is overcurrent-protected by a 1-ampere PTC resistor.

Monitor

Insert the cable connector of the video monitor into the 15-pin connector of the Super VGA port on the system back panel.

Other Devices

Connect other external peripheral devices—for example, a printer and an external modem—by following the instructions in the documentation included with the device. Besides the keyboard, mouse, and monitor ports, the back panel also provides two serial ports, and a parallel port.
