Keyboard connector Use this connector to connect a PS/2 (non-USB) keyboard to the server. The following illustration shows a keyboard connector. 6 5 4 3 2 1 If you attach a keyboard to this connector, USB ports and devices are disabled during POST. Parallel port connector Use this connector to connect a parallel device. The following illustration shows a parallel connector. 13 1 25 14 The parallel connector supports three Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation: Standard Parallel Port (SPP), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capability Port (ECP). If you configure the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, it supports the EPP and ECP modes of operation. To configure the parallel port, use the Devices and I/O Ports option in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the User's Guide for more information. If you configure the parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable that does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft). Serial-port connectors Use a serial connector to connect a serial device. The following illustration shows a serial connector. 1 5 6 9 Chapter 3. Installing options 53

(IEEE)
1284
modes
of
operation:
Standard
Parallel
Port
(SPP),
Enhanced
Parallel
Port
(EPP),
and
Extended
Capability
Port
(ECP).
If
you
configure
the
parallel
port
to
operate
in
bidirectional
mode,
it
supports
the
EPP
and
ECP
modes
of
operation.
To
configure
the
parallel
port,
use
the
Devices
and
I/O
Ports
option
in
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
See
the
User’s
Guide
for
more
information.
If
you
configure
the
parallel
port
to
operate
in
bidirectional
mode,
use
an
IEEE
1284-compliant
cable
that
does
not
exceed
3
meters
(9.8
ft).
Serial-port
connectors
Use
a
serial
connector
to
connect
a
serial
device.
