Introducing Your Computer 1-21
Universal Serial Bus port
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port allows you to add
new plug and play serial devices without opening up the
system. You simply plug the devices into the port. The
USB determines system resources for each peripheral
and assigns them without user intervention. Up to 127
devices can be daisy chained to the USB port.
Fax/modem ports
Some systems come with a 56 kilobytes per second
(Kbps) fax/modem board. The fax/modem board allows
the connection of a phone line to the computer for fax
and data communications functions.
Dual fax/modem ports let you use a telephone line for
the fax/modem and your telephone.
LAN connector
The rear panel contains one RJ-45-compatible port for
connecting your system to an Ethernet local-area
network (LAN) so you can communicate with other
computers.
You can also order a network board from NECCSD and
install it in an expansion slot (see Chapter 5 for option
installation procedures). These boards allow you to
configure your system to meet varying network interface
requirements.
SCSI port
You may order a SCSI adapter board from NECCSD
that installs in an expansion slot on the rear panel (see
Section 5 for option installation procedures). The Ultra-
Wide SCSI interface allows connection of up to 15 SCSI
devices.
