*3 When making communication between an External Device and COM port on the Expansion slot,
only RS-232C is supported. However, ER (DTR/CTS) control cannot be executed because of the
specification of COM port.
For connection with External Device, use user-created cables and disable Pin Nos. 1, 4, 6 and 9.
Please refer to the IPC manual for details of pin layout.
