5.1 Using the USB Port

USB or Universal Serial Port is a peripheral bus standard developed by

Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Northern Telecom. Personal

computers equipped with USB will allow computer peripherals to automatically

configure as soon as they are physically attached - without the need to reboot

or run setup. USB will also allow multiple devices to run simultaneously on a

computer, with peripherals such as floppy drive, mouse, digital cameras,

scanners, printers, optical disk drive, modems, keyboards, games devices and

acting as additional plug-in sites, or hubs.

Depending on your operational requirements, you may need to disable other

ports in order to release system resource for the USB port.

5.2 Using an External Keyboard (PS/2)

At the rear side of your computer, you will find the 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2

keyboard and mouse port. This port allows you to connect an external full-

sized PS/2 desktop keyboard as well as an external PS/2 mouse. If you want to

use both the external PS/2 mouse and keyboard, you would need to buy a

PS/2 Y-cable.
