6 Expanding the System
Refer to the information in this chapter to expand your Intergraph TD-20 or TD-200 system.
Adding External Peripheral Devices
You can add external peripheral devices to the system in several ways:
u
Insert a PC Card device in the optional PC Card slot. You can insert Type I and Type II
devices in both slots, or a single Type III device in the bottom slot. Use only
Exchangable Architecture (ExCA) PC Card devices. Refer to Chapter 4, “Operating
Notes,” for more information on using PC Card devices.
u
Connect a modem, a printer, or another serial (RS-232 compatible) device to a serial port.
Two serial ports are provided. Use a cable with 9-pin DB9 connectors. For a cable with
25-pin DB25 connectors, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
u
Connect a printer or another parallel (Centronics compatible) device to the parallel port.
Use a cable with 25-pin DB25 connectors.
u
On a system equipped with a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapter board,
connect SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 peripherals to the SCSI port on the adapter board. Use a cable
with standard 50-pin SCSI connectors. Refer to the documentation delivered with the
adapter, and to “Adding SCSI Peripheral Devices” in this chapter.
u
Connect a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) device or a standard
joystick/control device to the game/MIDI port. Use a cable with a 15-pin D-sub
connector.
u
Connect a microphone to the microphone port for use with the sound processor.
u
Connect a sound input device to the line in port for use with the sound processor.
u
On a TD-20, connect non-amplified (non-powered) speakers to the speaker port for use
with the sound processor.
u
On a TD-200, connect amplified (powered) speakers to the line out port for use with the
sound processor. Connect the speaker power cord from the speakers to the speaker power
port.
Refer to Chapter 1, “Setting Up the Hardware,” to locate ports on the back of the base unit.
All ports and cables are keyed or molded for proper cable connection. If a cable does not
connect easily, make sure you are aligning the cable connector correctly with the port.
