4-4 Expanding Your Computer
Connecting a Serial Device
Your computer has a serial port for connecting a serial device such as a
serial mouse or modem.
Follow this procedure to connect a serial device:
1. Make sure the computer is not turned on.
2. Plug the device cable to the serial port on the rear of the computer.
3. Turn on the computer.
NOTE: Portable modems that derive power through the serial port cannot be used with
the computer. Instead, use a modem that is powered by its own internal battery or
external AC power.
