HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Installing The Hardware
Installing the ACC-2004
Make sure that your computer is turned off.
Locate the serial communications port on the computer. This port will usually be
located at the rear of the computer. However, since this is dependent upon the design
of your computer refer to the computer operator’s manual for directions.
The IBM® PC systems support up to four serial ports. There are two physical standards for the serial port configurations of personal computers;
• The first standard is the 25 pin RS-232 output that has a DB-25 male connector at
the computer (used on the IBM-PC or PC Compatible). If your computer uses a
DB-25 connector, you will need to purchase a DB-9/DB-25 adapter cable from
your local computer dealer, but do not use a null-modem adapter.
• The other standard is a 9 pin RS-232 output that has a DB-9 male connector at
the computer (used on the IBM-AT and many portable lap-top computers).
