Parallel Connector

The integrated parallel connector, intended primarily for use by printers that require data in
parallel format, uses a 25-pin D-subminiature connector on the system's back panel. The default
designation of the system's parallel connector is LPT1. If you add an expansion card containing a
parallel connector configured as LPT1 (IRQ7, I/O address 378h), use the System Setup program to
remap the integrated parallel connector. See "Using the System Setup Program" in the User’s
Guide. Figure B-3 illustrates the pin numbers for the parallel connector and Table B-3 defines the
pin assignments for the connector.
