Input/output connectors
Expansion Slots: Cables to the external connectors on
installed ISA and PCI adapters connect here. For information
about expansion slots and adapters, see “Working with
adapters” on page 79.
Microphone: This connector is used to attach a microphone
to your server when you want to record voice or other
sounds on the hard disk. This connector can also be used by
speech-recognition software.
Audio Line In: This connector is used to send audio signals
from an external device (such as a CD player or stereo) to
your server so that the signals can be recorded on the hard
disk.
Audio Line Out: This connector is used to send audio
signals from your server to external devices, such as
stereo-powered speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones,
multimedia keyboards, or the audio line-in jack on a stereo
system. To hear audio, you must connect one of these
external devices to the audio line-out connector on your
server.
Note: The internal speaker in your server is disabled when
an external speaker is attached to the audio line-out
connector on your server. There is no playback
capability through the internal speaker.
Ethernet Connector: An unshielded, twisted-pair (UTP) cable
with an RJ-45 connector attaches here to the 10/100 Ethernet
controller on the system board.
For information on the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring
the Ethernet controller” on page 59. For more information on
the Ethernet connector, see “Ethernet connector” on page 143.
For information on cables, see Appendix A, “Ethernet cable
specifications” on page 271.
Parallel Connector: A signal cable for a parallel device, such
as a printer, connects here.
