Connecting the Serial Ports
Two DB-9P serial port cables are provided with the
motherboard. They are mounted on a card-edge bracket
along with the PS/2 mouse cable. The upper serial port
cable should be used for the COM 1 primary serial port;
connect it to Connector COM 1 on the motherboard.
The lower serial port cable should be used for the COM
2 secondary serial port; connect it to Connector COM 2
on the motherboard. Make sure the colored stripes on
the ribbon cables align with pin 1 of Connectors COM 1
and COM 2. Mount the card-edge bracket to the system
chassis.
