The parallel port interface features a 26-pin flat-cable connector that requires an adapter cable if a traditional DB-25 connector is used. The parallel port interface can be re-assigned to LPT2 or LPT3 through the BIOS configuration utility. The default interrupt channel is IRQ7. Select ECP or EPP DMA mode using the BIOS configuration utility.
4.3.5.4 Audio Interface
AC’97 Audio signals are interfaced through a 10-pin flat-cable connector. The signals include microphone line-in, line-in stereo, line-out stereo and speaker out stereo. An audio 10-pin-to-phone-jack adapter kit is required.
4.3.5.5 COM Port Connectors [COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4]
The NOVA-6612 provides six serial ports (COM1, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6: RS-232; COM2: RS-232/422/485) interfaced through three 10-pin male headers (COM1, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6) and one 14-pin male header (COM2). The serial ports facilitate the connection to serial devices or a communications network, e.g., terminal console.
4.4 Chassis Installation
After the CPU, the cooling kit, and the DIMM modules have been installed and after the internal peripheral connectors have been connected to the peripheral devices and the jumpers have been configure, the motherboard can be mounted into chassis.
