Installing an External PS/2
®
Option
The DockMate allows you to attach any of the following to
the 6-pin PS/2 connectors on the system:
❏
external keyboard (side port recommended)
❏
external PS/2 mouse (rear port recommended)
❏
external numeric keypad (rear or side port)
To install the external PS/2 option, connect a round PS/2
connector cable to the 6-pin circular connector on the rear
or side of the system.
Serial Port Connections
Your DockMate is equipped with a 9-pin serial port with
16550 UART that can be attached to any external serial
device such as:
❏
external modem
❏
serial printer
❏
any device that uses an RS-232 interface
When using the Serial Port connection on the DockMate,
the Serial Port connector on the notebook is disabled.
c
Caution: Never connect a parallel device to a serial
port, or a serial device to a parallel port or video port;
this may cause damage to the DockMate. If you are
uncertain as to what type connector the external
device has, refer to the technical manual for the
external device.
