2.23 – Connecting External Devices
Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The standard devices you should
expect to plug into the motherboard are keyboards, mice, and printer cables. The following diagram
will detail the ATX port stack for the following board:
Besides being used primarily to connect printers, the Printer Port is also used for devices such as
Zip drive, some external CD-RW drives and or other external devices. More on the uncommon side
these days are the Serial Ports. They were primarily used to connect external modems, but most
modems today are using USB or are installed internally.
TIP:
While the ports have been created to accept connectors in only one direction, make sure to be
careful when inserting connectors. At times, attaching connectors in the incorrect orientation can
damage, bend and or break the pins.
