Getting Started Setting up your computer 53 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.
