USB 2.0 devices configure automatically with Plug and Play technology. 1 4 Notes: 1. If you attach a standard (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, the USB 2.0 connectors and devices will be disabled during the power-on self-test. 2. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse connector, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse, and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
