Hardware Installation
Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25 printer port
cable to connector JP5 on the
system board. Make sure the
colored stripe on the ribbon
cable aligns with pin 1 of JP5.
Use a small nutdriver to
mount the cable into a DB-25
cutout in the system chassis. If
your printer port cable is
attached to a card-edge
bracket, connect the cable to
connector JP5 on the system
board and mount the card-edge bracket to the system chassis.
