Keyboard Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connectors
The PS/2 connectors provide an interface for a keyboard and a mouse to the
system. Consult the documentation that accompanies each input device for
specific information concerning its use.
HP-HIL Keyboard Connector
The HP HIL connector provides an interface for the ITF Keyboard and its
mouse to the system. Consult the documentation that accompanies each
input device for specific information concerning its use.
HP Parallel I/O Connector
The 25-pin HP Parallel I/O interface uses Centronics interface protocols to
support peripheral devices such as printers and plotters. Consult the docu-
mentation that accompanies each peripheral device for specific information
concerning its use.
802.3 Network Connectors
Your workstation has built-in ThickNet LAN-AUI and LAN-TP (Twisted
Pair) connectors for the 802.3 (ETHERNET) network. Connections to Thin-
LAN networks require an external transceiver. Your workstation will autose-
lect the correct network setting.
Serial I/O Connectors
You can attach a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or trackball),
or peripheral devices to the Serial Input/Output (SIO) ports on the C100/
C110 workstation. Peripheral devices include printers, plotters, modems,
and scanners. Consult the documentation that accompanies each pointing or
peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.
The SIO ports are programmable. You can set functions such as bit rate,
character length, parity, and stop bits. The SIO Ports are used as an interface
for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU. The ports operate at up to a
460.8K baud rate.
