161 Expansion Options Using an external keyboard Using an external keyboard If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your computer. The computer's PS/2 mouse/keyboard port supports any PS/2-compatible keyboard. CAUTION: Make sure the computer is off before you attach the external keyboard. Connecting an external keyboard with the computer's power on can damage the external keyboard, the computer, or both. You can only connect one PS/2 device at a time, unless you use an optional Y-cable. Connecting a Y-cable to the PS/2 port allows you to connect a PS/2-compatible mouse and a PS/2-compatible keyboard simultaneously. Alternatively, you can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB ports. Using a mouse If you prefer, you can use a mouse instead of the computer's builtin pointing device-the AccuPoint II. You can use a PS/2compatible mouse, a serial mouse or a USB mouse. TECHNICAL NOTE: A serial mouse disables the AccuPoint II. With a PS/2 mouse, you can choose to have the AccuPoint II active at the same time. Connecting a serial mouse To connect a serial mouse, connect the mouse cable to the serial port at the back of the computer. Once connected, the mouse is ready to use. Refer to your mouse documentation for configuration information.
