Serial interface
If you have a printer (or another peripheral such as a modem)
with a serial interface, connect it to the serial (RS-232C) port
on the back panel. The Apex uses a DB-25P connector, so be
sure you have an XT-compatible cable. To connect a serial
device, follow the same steps as for connecting a parallel
printer.
You need to ensure the serial port is set up so it functions
properly. If you are using the port for a serial printer, you must
also redirect printer output to the serial instead of the parallel
port. Use the MS-DOS SETMODE program (or the MODE
command) to make these changes. See your MS-DOS reference
manual for instructions.

Connecting the Power Cord
To avoid an electric shock, first insert the power cord into the
AC input connector on the back panel as shown below, then
plug the other end into the wall socket.
