the cable, squeeze the clips at each side of the printer port

and push them into place.

electrical outlet.

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 COM2. If you are connecting only one

serial device, use the COM1 port.

Connecting the Power Cord

Follow these steps to connect the power cord:

1. Plug the power cord into the AC power inlet on the back

panel.

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 an appropriate

grounded electrical outlet.
