Hardware Installation

One card-edge bracket, mounted with a serial port cable and a

game/MIDI port cable, is provided with the system board. If you

want to use the secondary serial port, connect the serial port cable

to connector J9. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is

aligned with pin 1 of connector J9. Mount the card-edge bracket to

the system chassis.
