I/O Port Connectors

The PR5 has two serial, one parallel, a connector for an
IrDA-compatible Infrared port and a dual-port USB con-
nector onboard. Combination ribbon cable to external
port cables are supplied for each connector except the
Infrared port. W hen installing ports, make sure the col-
ored edge of the ribbon cable is at the Pin 1 end of the
onboard connector. Their positions and Pin 1 locations
are shown below and the pin assignments for the Infra-
red and USB ports are shown in the table on page 2-11.

I/O Port Connectors

There are five connectors:
JP2: Infrared port (5-pin)
USB: USB ports (16-pin)
COM1: COM1 serial port (10-pin)
COM2: COM2 serial port (10-pin)
LPT: LPT1 printer port (26-pin)
