Parallel connector
Your server has one parallel connector. This connector supports three standard
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284 modes of operation:
standard parallel port (SPP), enhanced parallel port (EPP), and extended capability
port (ECP).
Viewing or changing the connector assignments: You can use the built-in
Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the parallel connector as
bidirectional; that is, so that data can be both read from and written to a device. In
bidirectional mode, the server supports the ECP and EPP modes.
Complete the following steps to view or change the parallel-connector assignment:
1. Restart the server and watch the monitor screen.
2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1.
3. When the Configuration/Setup Utility menu appears, select Devices & I/O Ports;
then, press Enter.
4. Select the parallel connector; then, use the arrow keys to advance through the
settings available.
Note: When you configure the parallel connector as bidirectional, use an IEEE
1284-compliant cable. The cable must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet).
5. Press Esc twice to return to the Configuration/Setup main menu; then, select
Save & Exit Setup to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
Parallel connector: There is a 25-pin, female D-shell parallel connector on the rear of
your server, see I/O connector locations on page 60 for the location of this
connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the parallel
connector.
