Setting up your computer

Connecting a keyboard

If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your

computer. The computer’s PS/2 port supports any

PS/2-compatible keyboard.

NOTE: If you connect a PS/2 keyboard to the computer while

it is in Standby mode, you will not be able to use the

keyboard when you turn the computer on.

CAUTION: When connecting any PS/2 device, turn off your

computer to prevent any possible hardware damage.

Connecting a printer

CAUTION: Connecting the printer cable while the computer

is on may damage the printer, the computer, or both.

Before connecting a printer, you need to know whether it requires

a serial or a parallel interface. Check the printer’s documentation.

If the printer can be switched between serial and parallel mode,

choose parallel because it is faster.

You also need a suitable printer cable — which may come with

your printer. If not, you can purchase one from a computer or

electronics store.

NOTE: If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure

your printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable.
