To connect a serial device

The computer includes a standard 9-pin serial port that you can use to connect devices
such as external modems and fax modems. If needed, you can set the serial port’s address
in the BIOS Setup utility.

•

  Connect the device’s serial cable to the computer’s serial port.

To connect an infrared device

Your computer includes an infrared port— located below the volume control on the right
side of the computer— which provides wireless, serial communication between the
computer and other infrared devices such as printers or other computers.

By default, the infrared port is not enabled, so you must enable it before you can use it.

1.  Enable the infrared port in the BIOS Setup utility— see “To run the BIOS Setup

utility” on page 122.

2.  Windows 98 only: Click Start, Run, and type c:\hp\drivers\fir\quikbeam\setup.exe to

install the QuickBeam software. For more information, see the Readme file in the
same directory.

•

  Make sure the infrared ports of your computer and the other device lie in as straight a

line as possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter apart, with no
obstructions in between. Noise from nearby equipment can cause transmission errors.

•

  To check the status of communications, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then

double-click Infrared (Windows  98) or Wireless Link (Windows ME or 2000).

Disable infrared communication when you aren’t using it, and especially before
suspending or docking:

1.  Close any applications that are using infrared, and any folders on an infrared link.

2.  Click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

3.  Windows 98: Double-click Infrared and disable communications.

4.  Windows ME or 2000: Double-click Wireless Link and disable the hardware.
