Ethernet support Some models have an integrated Intel 10/100 Mbit, PCI Ethernet controller and an RJ-45 connector for a high-performance network connection. Hard disk drive Some models come with a hard disk drive that has an enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) bus-master interface. The EIDE drive plugs into one of two EIDE connectors located on the riser card in your computer. You can connect an additional hard disk drive to the ribbon cable already attached to the riser card, or you can purchase another cable and connect up to two hard disk drives or other IDE or EIDE devices to the second connector on the riser card. Notes: 1. In the desktop model, a maximum of three internal IDE or EIDE devices can be installed, depending on the number of available bays. 2. For models with an IBM factory-installed CD-ROM, two ribbon cables (for connecting IDE or EIDE devices) are shipped inside your computer. Some models come with an ultra-wide SCSI (small computer system interface) hard disk drive. These models have a SCSI adapter installed in one of the PCI expansion slots. If your computer has an IBM-preinstalled SCSI adapter, refer to the SCSI documentation provided with your computer for information on the adapter and for instructions on installing SCSI devices. CD-ROM drive A CD-ROM drive is installed in some models. CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) technology offers quick access to large amounts of information. A compact disc can store more than 650 MB of data, such as the large files needed for audio, still and full-motion video, and still and animated graphics. A CD-ROM drive can play back or read from a CD, but it cannot write information on it. Parallel port Your computer has a parallel port that can be used to communicate with a parallel printer or other parallel devices. The parallel port can operate in several different modes. The default mode for your computer is SPP (standard parallel port). However, your computer also supports the ECP/EPP (extended capabilities port/enhanced parallel port) mode. 6 Using Your Personal Computer

Ethernet support
Some models have an integrated Intel 10/100 Mbit, PCI Ethernet controller and an
RJ-45 connector for a high-performance network connection.
Hard disk drive
Some models come with a hard disk drive that has an enhanced integrated drive
electronics (EIDE) bus-master interface.
The EIDE drive plugs into one of two EIDE
connectors located on the riser card in your computer.
You can connect an
additional hard disk drive to the ribbon cable already attached to the riser card, or
you can purchase another cable and connect up to two hard disk drives or other
IDE or EIDE devices to the second connector on the riser card.
Notes:
1.
In the desktop model, a maximum of three internal IDE or EIDE devices can be
installed, depending on the number of available bays.
2.
For models with an IBM factory-installed CD-ROM, two ribbon cables (for
connecting IDE or EIDE devices) are shipped inside your computer.
Some models come with an ultra-wide SCSI (small computer system interface) hard
disk drive.
These models have a SCSI adapter installed in one of the PCI expansion
slots.
If your computer has an IBM-preinstalled SCSI adapter, refer to the SCSI
documentation provided with your computer for information on the adapter and for
instructions on installing SCSI devices.
CD-ROM drive
A CD-ROM drive is installed in some models.
CD-ROM (compact disc read-only
memory) technology offers quick access to large amounts of information.
A
compact disc can store more than 650 MB of data, such as the large files needed for
audio, still and full-motion video, and still and animated graphics.
A CD-ROM
drive can play back or read from a CD, but it cannot write information on it.
Parallel port
Your computer has a parallel port that can be used to communicate with a parallel
printer or other parallel devices.
The parallel port can operate in several different modes.
The default mode for your
computer is SPP (standard parallel port).
However, your computer also supports
the ECP/EPP (extended capabilities port/enhanced parallel port) mode.
