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 COMC. If you are connecting only one
serial device, use the COM1 port.
Connecting the Power Cord
Follow these steps to connect the computer’s power cord:
1.
Plug the power cord into the power inlet on the back of the
computer.
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 a grounded
electrical outlet.
