The Serial Port Bracket
The serial port bracket plugs onto the COM2 connec-
tor on the motherboard. Mount the port bracket in an
expansion slot opening that doesn’t block an expan-
sion slot and plug the ribbon cable connectors onto
the connectors on the motherboard. The connectors
will only plug on in one orientation so you can’t get
it wrong.
CD-ROM Audio Input
There are two audio input connectors for a CD-ROM.
Plug the audio cable from a CD-ROM drive into the
connector that matches the connector on the end of
the cable. If there is more than one CD-ROM drive
installed in the system you can connect an additional
drive to the unused connector. Only one audio source
at a time will play through the onboard audio subsys-
tem.
The Optional IR Port
This connector is for an infrared wireless communi-
cations port. Connect a separately purchased port to
the IrDA connector. Make sure to orient the Pin 1
side of the port connector to the Pin 1 on the onboard
connector. The Pin 1 position is marked on the
motherboard. You will also need to configure the
port in the CMOS Setup Utility’s Integrated Periph-
erals section to the appropriate setting for your port.
Follow the directions that come with the IR port to
install it.
