v One Ethernet port v One Advanced System Management Interconnect port Parallel port Your server has one parallel port. This port supports three standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard Parallel Port (SPP), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port (ECP). Viewing or changing the parallel-port assignments You can use the built-in Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the parallel port as bidirectional; that is, so that data can be both read from and written to a device. In bidirectional mode, the server supports the ECP and EPP modes. To view or change the parallel-port assignment: 1. Restart the server and watch the monitor screen. 2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. Note: The Devices and I/O Ports choice appears only on the full configuration menu. If you set two levels of passwords, you must enter the administrator password to access the full configuration menu. 3. From the main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports; then, press Enter. 4. Select the parallel port; then, use the arrow keys to advance through the settings available. Note: When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). 5. Select Save Settings; then, select Exit Setup to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.

Viewing
or
changing
the
parallel-port
assignments
You
can
use
the
built-in
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
configure
the
parallel
port
as
bidirectional;
that
is,
so
that
data
can
be
both
read
from
and
written
to
a
device.
In
bidirectional
mode,
the
server
supports
the
ECP
and
EPP
modes.
To
view
or
change
the
parallel-port
assignment:
1.
Restart
the
server
and
watch
the
monitor
screen.
2.
When
the
message
Press
F1
for
Configuration/Setup
appears,
press
F1.
Note:
The
Devices
and
I/O
Ports
choice
appears
only
on
the
full
configuration
menu.
If
you
set

available.
Note:
When
you
configure
the
parallel
port
as
bidirectional,
use
an
IEEE
1284-compliant
cable.
The
maximum
length
of
the
cable
must
not
exceed
3
meters
(9.8
feet).
5.
Select
Save
