Do not connect disk drives or any devices that use the parallel port, other
than a printer or Altera parallel port download cable, to either end of the
software guard. Disk drives can destroy a software guard by drawing power
that exceeds the guard’s capacity.
Disconnect the software guard before using the parallel port to transfer data
between computers using a data-transfer program. Failure to do so can
cause damage to the software guard.
