Chapter 3: Installing or Removing Peripherals
1. Before connecting the device, use the Serial Device Manager to configure the serial
port you will use. From the Toolchest select System > System Manager > Hardware
and Devices > Serial Devices Manager.
2. Connect one end of the serial cable to the serial port (Figure 3-22). Connect the other
end to the serial device, as follows:
• If connecting a console terminal, attach it to serial connector 1 only.
• If connecting a dial and button box, you need to attach a female-to-female
adapter to the serial cable before connecting it to the workstation.
• If connecting a Macintosh compatible MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) equipment, you need the Silicon Graphics MIDI converter. To
purchase one, contact your Silicon Graphics service provider.
Connecting Audio and Video Devices
Figure 3-23 shows the location of the audio and video ports on the workstation.
Note: The illustration shows an RM7000class workstation. The process of connecting
audio and video devices is the same on an R12000class workstation.
