Connecting a PS/2 Mouse
Your notebook does not support hot connecting for a PS/2 mouse. In order for the system to
detect the presence of the PS/2 mouse, you must reboot your notebook. Connecting a PS/2 mouse
will disable the on-board touch pad.
Connect a PS/2 mouse as follows.
1. Save your data, close all applications and turn off the notebook.
2. Locate the PS/2 mouse port on the rear of the notebook and connect the PS/2
mouse cable to it.
3. Turn on the system.
The Infrared Port (Selected models only)
The notebook is equipped with an Infrared (IR) port, on the rear panel (Figure 4-5). The Infrared
port consists of one Light Emitting Diode (LED) and one photo sensor. The operation of the
Infrared port is similar to the operation of a television remote control device. The LED functions
as a transmitter and the photo sensor acts as a receiver. The transmitter emits a signal stream of
data in the form of pulses of infrared light. The receiver picks up pulses of infrared light
transmitted by other IR modules.
Depending on the model purchased, the Infrared factory installed software is either Puma
TranXit or LapLink. Please refer to your software documentation for detailed instructions on
Infrared data transfers.
