PS/2 Mouse Port
The PS/2 mouse port is a 6-pin connector on the G586VPM/T system
board. Attach the 6-pin mouse port cable, which came in the
G586VPM/T box, to connector J11. Make sure the brown wire on the
PS/2 mouse connector aligns with pin 1 of connector J11. The other
end of the wires are attached to the card-edge bracket that also holds
the two serial port cables.
Parallel Port
The G586VPM/T system board has a standard connector to a parallel
printer. This port is compatible with both IBM AT printer ports and the
new, high speed, bi-directional Extended Capabilities Port standard. The
parallel port on your system board can be set to any of the following
system I/O addresses:
378H/IRQ7
378H/IRQ5
3BCH/IRQ7
278H/IRQ5

Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25 printer port cable, which came with the system
board, to Connector CN5 on the G586VPM/T system board. Make
sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable aligns with pin 1 of Con-
nector CN5. Use a small nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25
cutout in the system chassis.
Floppy Disk Drive Controller
The G586VPM/T system board has a built-in floppy disk controller that
supports two standard floppy disk drives. You can install any 720KB,
1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB floppy disk drives.
