53 Getting Started
Setting up your computer
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.
