Description
Storage/Control I/O Module 1-11
3.7 Printer Interface
The printer interface on the Storage/Control I/O Module front panel supports parallel system
printers through a 36-pin Centronics-type connector. Figure 7 shows the cable wiring diagrams
for connecting the Storage/Control I/O Module parallel port to the system printer.
NOTE: The End of Line (EOL) terminator for the system printer must be defined in
the system data base via the Peripheral Configuration screen prior to use (refer to
the Cisco VCO/4K System Administrator’s Guide for more information).
Figure 7: I/O Module To System Printer – Cable Wiring Diagram
NOTE: You can employ a 36-conductor, straight-thru parallel cable to connect a
printer to the system controller; however, only the conductors shown above are used.
For more information on the parallel 36-pin Centronics cable available from Cisco
Systems, refer to the Cisco VCO/4K Hardware Planning Guide.
3.8 SCSI Interface
The SCSI mass storage bus interface on the Storage/Control I/O Module is not used in system
operation.
