interface, such as a modem, another computer, or a printer.

Parallel port. Allows you to connect a peripheral with a

parallel interface, such as a printer or a plotter.

Option card access slots. The Equity II has five slots to hold up to five

option cards. You can install option cards to add special features and

peripherals, such as a hard disk, a mouse, or another monitor. If

your Equity II has a hard disk, a hard disk controller card occupies

one option slot.

Connecting the Power Cord

Plug the power cord into the AC input on the back panel of the main

unit, as shown in Figure l-5. To avoid an electric shock, be sure to plug

this end into the main unit before you plug the other end into a wall

outlet. For now, do not plug the other end of the power cord into an

electrical outlet.
