Installing external options
You can install external options to your computer, such as external speakers, a
printer, or a scanner. For some external options, you must install additional
software in addition to making the physical connection. When you install an
external option, see “Locating connectors, controls, and indicators on the front of
your computer” on page 7 and “Locating connectors and parts on the rear of your
computer” on page 8 to identify the required connector. Then, use the instructions
that come with the option to help you make the connection and install software or
device drivers that are required for the option.
