Connecting Peripheral Devices

Figure 3. I/O Ports, Connectors, and Indicators
When you connect external devices to your computer's back panel, follow these guidelines:
Check the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation and configuration
instructions.
For example, you must connect most devices to a particular input/output (I/O) port or connector to
operate properly. Also, external devices like a mouse or printer usually require you to load device
drivers into system memory before they will work.
Always attach external devices while your computer is turned off. Then turn on the computer before
turning on any external devices, unless the documentation for the device specifies otherwise. (If the
computer does not seem to recognize the device, try turning on the device before turning on the
computer.)
NOTICE: When you disconnect external devices from the back of the computer, wait 5
