Connector:         CN 5 

Type:                   25 pin female. 

 

This parallel port is used by printers 

which support the SPP, EPP and ECP 

modes IRQ7 or  IRQ5 can be se-

lected. The ECP mode will use either 

DMA 3 or DMA 1 (which can be se-

lected by the BIOS setup program). 

2.8.4.

Parallel Port Connector (LPT)

Connector:   CN 6 (USB 1)/ CN 7 (USB 2) 

Type:             4 pin female 

 

Two USB ports are available for connecting 

USB  devices.  The  mainboard  is  also 

equipped with an expansion connector that 

supports  two  additional  USB  external 

connectors. (The USB cable is not included
